The Bowery Lyrics by William Ryan Key

Virtue

2018

[Verse 1]
I don't shine like the others do
I'm so close, and so far
From the light you see them standing in
I'll come running if you tell me to
Upstate, I'm too late
And the turnpike's choking up again
[Chorus]
Who do I think I am
Rushing in where I can't win
And I am always
Crumbling beneath this
Heavy weight, much to say
Is this way always
[Bridge]
Take me down to the bowery
Break bread, you said
I'm a loyal one, I'm a lot of fun
Find a garden and will burn it down
Someday I'll say
I was wrong to feel so overcome
[Verse 2]
This is all dimensional
Its alternate, appropriate
Maybe it's a ritual
A sacrifice, a drink on ice
I am unconventional
And with this truth I come to you
With this truth I come to you
[Chorus]
Who do I think I am
Rushing in where I can't win
And I am always
Crumbling beneath this
Heavy weight, much to say
Is this way always
[Outro]
I'm so close, and so far
