Float the county streets as we drag the “River City”
Searching for spirits stuck in the middle
Where trees drop their young with the changing of seasons
I could give into fear or set fire to my demons
I feel their eyes burning holes into my back
My bones won’t work anymore
Take my hand as I sink into the deep
Please swear you won’t let go
The years have been slipping
Slurring my speech
Breaking my balance
Stealing my sleep
Like the 10 o’clock train or the knocks of a lonely cat
Just begging to get in to rest her head on my chest
We put our ears to the heart of the city
Like a thief cracking a safe
Found ourselves stuck to the moment
Staggered back in search of our names
Out of our sad American drama
Into light of a new day
We’re the eve of the end
The final shout of wonder
The last call as the lights turn on
By God,
I’ll fight for every breath I take
Scream at death to go to Hell
May we all hold hands as we sink into the deep
I know we won’t let go
