9000 Miles Songtext
Do I strive for a hustle, when time slinks and snails its way by?
Ran my thoughts in Chicago, remember how we slept in parking spaces that night?
Searching for Noble Drew, our brain synapses fried,
dear heart, pound less, this rib ain't caged to confine
how can I swim 9,000 miles
I'm 9,000 miles away from home
Lying in a ditch,
a hung my eyes off the crescent,
I rubbed the bristles on my chin,
where do I begin?
Mere moments away from doomsday,
I still recall your visage,
march down stairs through the hinges there into the daylight that jipped me that night you decided to pack to forget me
how can I swim 9,000 miles
I'm 9,000 miles away from home
Life's hard when you're singed, by the shades of the past,
moments can be cinched, by the fear you'll be last,
thaw my heart, thaw my heart, I've been frozen in old groves
alternate verse:
There's almost no line between fear and love
sometimes I'm made of fire, sometimes I'm made of mud
But I stand alone on my own here, still barely holding on.
