New Zealand - Caravels

I dreamt last night that I had fled

And woke up chasing sleep again

The blankets taped up to the blinds

Now droop and dangle from one side

The city’s still in rust

It’s still chewing up all that I love

The city’s still in rust

It’s still chewing up all that I love

Don’t want the sun to glare through

The sprawl wants me to stick

And strangle me with it’s streets

It wants me to acknowledge it

Thank it for all it’s done

Like a surface to stand on

Like a surface to stand on

But I don’t owe it anything

I grew up faster than I wanted to

But I don’t owe it anything

I grew up faster than I wanted to

I sprouted from a stem and bloomed

Despite the light that leaks into my room

One day I swear I’ll flee

I’ll escape this town

I’ll drag it’s chains with me

Sundered from the ground
