lyrics

‘Pretend I’m asleep in the back seat’
-Now, just a desolate place
‘Ascend my grief as I’m grinding my teeth’
-How? This was all a mistake
‘Lend me demands and your feverish hands’
-Allow, all alone in this bed
‘Send me your letters and Seminole feathers’
-Without thought-out words from your head

Fires & sirens lost, not contained
I was fighting for livable wage
Monetary problems now erased

‘Mend all the tears in the seams of my fears’
-Or crowd my whole body instead
‘With those who could’ve known or could’ve emptied their nodes’
-Loud tears soak sheets sent from glands
‘Colorful memories of green more than red’
-Now, superstition commands
‘My words misled & betrayed up ahead'
-Howls, erased in diaphragm
--Spikes, only in diagrams

Tigers & lions fought in their cage
I was fighting for systematic change
All of my problems are now erased

"I wish I could stay awhile
Wish you could see my smile
I wish I could’ve stayed awhile
Wish you could’ve seen me smile
I wish I could stay awhile
Wish you could see my smile."

"I wish you could’ve stayed awhile
I wish I could see your smile."
