The District After Midnight Lyrics by Zack Tomasko

What You Hold Sacred Is Holding You Down

2016

[Verse 1]
How upset you tryna get, baby?
I'm on pace to break a record
If I stay tethered to the middle, darlin'
I'll run in circles til forever
I should have saved it all for Danville
But I wandered undisguised
Until fiction in a bottle
Made up everybody's mind
Spent my last dime on
A bag that size
Just to keep my clock tickin'
Til I found more time
[Pre Chorus 1]
And the bitch of it is
We can't go nowhere
That we haven't been
We searched
Every oval, Officer
Just to end up
Where we started again
[Chorus 1]
The district after midnight
Shines in hues of red and blue
As the white breaks through
The center of a hundred-year-old room
There's a peace sign on the wall
But most of it's been washed away
In the kingdom of the blind
It only matters what you say
[Verse 2]
There's no heart inside this town
Its love is strictly analytics
It used to be much kinder
But old religions now forbid it
Now that all we've gained is lost
We've got somewhere else to be
Your golden calf is rising
Well I'd say that's news to me
We got somewhere else to go
I better change my clothes
Cause the way that things are going
Only true colors can show
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the truth of it is
This new era trumps
What's left of Reagan
We low balled the oval office
Just to end up
Fighting uphill again
[Chorus 2]
The district after midnight
Shines in hues of red and blue
As the white breaks through
The center of a hundred-year-old room
There's a peace sign on the wall
But all of it's been washed away
When the right turn may be wrong
And the left one's bout the same
Move forward down the road
Until the new round of old names
