Take It In Lyrics by Amity

Assorted Nonsense

2020

Verse 1:
I go outside for some fresh air/
A deep breath of second hand cigarette smoke/
It reminds me of the lives that we spend trying to get there/
And give the best go with a 90% chance of getting it/
Do I live the life of a dead man?/
Live and let go just to die at the red hands/
Or look at life through the eyes of a death stare/
While the right and left are fighting to get fair/
I stare out the window at the broken concrete/
Of the footpath and look past the lonely bombed heap/
A graveyard you hope is the wrong street/
But no, that’s home sweet home in the off-peak season/
Skimming stones off graffitied buildings’ brittle bones/
Pothole ridden roads and evil children/
But this city isn’t a criticism/
Just an observation of the conditions in which we live and grow
Hook:
Take a walk, take a look, take a glance/
Take a breath, take it in, take a chance/
Take a guess, take a seat, take a ride/
Take it all, take it in, take your time
Verse 2:
Here I sit, waiting at the bus stop/
Early morning and my gazing eyes are bloodshot/
My headphones are playing all the love songs/
I get a free ride but I’d say it was a once off/
I pass the zombies in business shirts and take a seat/
They either ignore me, give me smirks or wave at me/
I look out the window, sit, observe and take it in/
On my way to uni, I scribble words while playing beats/
Mid-idea, sirens whiz by me/
While I sit tightly, trying to think brightly/
Speak politely, smile and grit my teeth/
Why am I sick-minded? I don’t think I fit in/
The world we live in, work to earn a living/
And die trying to learn to work with what you’re given/
These words are written with blurry vision/
Perps to victims, worthless worms to pigeons
Hook:
Take a walk, take a look, take a glance/
Take a breath, take it in, take a chance/
Take a guess, take a seat, take a ride/
Take it all, take it in, take your time
Verse 3:
Cold and soaked from head to toe, walking in the pouring rain/
Overdose on anecdotes, talking to a wall again/
So when they call my name, ignore them ‘cause they’re all the same/
I hold my hopes forever so to fall is just a normal day/
Rocks and rubble, sightseeing in this concrete jungle/
And my phone mind-reading with the songs on shuffle/
The rain’s light beating as kids stomp in puddles/
An epitaph for light reading with a cross and shovel/
I dodge glances from petty people who spit pity/
As I pace through the many streets of the big city/
They look smart but half of them seem to be dim-witted/
Like the surrounding buildings that are the least bit pretty/
I’m overthinking, painting pictures but I’m no Da Vinci/
I just notice things, relay my visions, hope you listen/
On the page I’ve written trying to show my lyrics/
Have a bone to pick with the paper prison I’m known to live in
Hook:
Take a walk, take a look, take a glance/
Take a breath, take it in, take a chance/
Take a guess, take a seat, take a ride/
Take it all, take it in, take your time
Outro:
Take a walk, take a glance/
Take a breath, take a chance/
Take a guess, take a ride/
Take it all, take your time
