When I Leave This Town Lyrics by Language Arts

Wonderkind

0

I started a new book
And then I moved house
Picked a new city
Held my mouth
I didn’t say much
Nothing’s left to be told
After that night
The veins in my temples exploded
I took flight
Many times before
My head it felt like cracking
My heart became a door
I think I served a purpose
But no one will ever know
I’ll think of these chapters fondly
And I’ll go where I will grow
But who is going to love you
When I’m no longer around?
And what will become of me
When I leave this town?
I hear a distant whistling
Like it is calling me home
Sleep sweet to loons calling
In this palindrome
‘Cause every time I sleep
I see it, it is not really there
Every time I sing
I get really scared
Feeling tired
From this bed in the sky
Flounder in wonder
Like I am a child
A new beginning
Become a new place
With a new place full of stuff
Becomes a new face
Then landing on arms of friends
My armor fell too
And it landed down there
With the fireworks crew
Becoming full blown motion
With many mixed matches
Simplicity is a state of mind
That fumigates and ashes
And the sound of it all
As it sets fire
It blasts out the stories
As my eyes tire
It forms and makes shapes
Of sailing away words and vowels
And then I take flight all over
Like a flock of midnight owls
