There's people breaking hearts
Across the empire state
Mothers trying to convince
Daughters they're safe
Fathers helping sons
Plan their first dates
The wind creeping through
The shutters today
With the cigarette smoke
I float to the left
Didn't want to say I knew
That I know me best
Til I put it to the test
But it's all apparent now
Searching for freedom
Pound by pound
I guess its good cause I can travel around
Going town to town making new sounds
Listen to the stars
Watch the moon from the ground
I don't know to what it amounts
But if freedom is all that counts
Then I'm drowning in the clouds
Higher than the whole city
So if it's you and me
That you really dont need
And if you love something
You should make it happy
Then there's nothing left
To do but for me to just leave
Through the door Im going out
Even though I know some day
That I'll prove you wrong
The bird is in the cage
But she's singing a song
I knew it all along
My wings are all I need
Only I can make me happy

1158
Do you want to lay with me
So we can watch the storm
Unfold as the skies destroy
The ground with the lights
Bouncing, purple off the windows
While the lyricist blasts his
Constant philosophy in my ears
Crying about some road where
His lost lover lived and they
At some point kissed at a
Moment just like this
Legs soaking, but wrapping Together as lips press and
Maybe she was crying or
That was just the clouds
Watching something so
Instinctually beautiful as
A mouth on a mouth
Three lights bouncing
In the distance like
Lonely sailors on the sea
Watching stars with loved
Wives waiting
And there's a kid here who
Tells me about the universe
The government, and the power of symmetry, like an artist with
A brush he paints galaxies in front of me, from almost nothing
And here I am thinking on a level
Wider than names and faces
Beyond continents and places
This beat is the very essence of
My being, like rhythm
Pouring from heaven
If there were to be such a thing
I suppose I would find it here
Or in cassadega
Where they all went too
While that tree in the distance
Gets further still
"I can travel now you know"
She said as if picking
A thorn from her shoe
Flicked her cigarette,
Spit and walked away
Let that burning ember
In the grass stay
Because if one of us has to go
Say good bye to me today
So we can watch the storm
Unfold as the skies destroy
The ground with the lights
Bouncing, purple off the windows
While the lyricist blasts his
Constant philosophy in my ears
Crying about some road where
His lost lover lived and they
At some point kissed at a
Moment just like this
Legs soaking, but wrapping Together as lips press and
Maybe she was crying or
That was just the clouds
Watching something so
Instinctually beautiful as
A mouth on a mouth
Three lights bouncing
In the distance like
Lonely sailors on the sea
Watching stars with loved
Wives waiting
And there's a kid here who
Tells me about the universe
The government, and the power of symmetry, like an artist with
A brush he paints galaxies in front of me, from almost nothing
