When I think of you in the city,
The sight of you among the sights,
I get the sudden sinking feeling
of a man about to fly.
It never kept me up before,
now I've been awake for days.
I can't fight it anymore,
I'm going through an awkward phase.
I am secretly in love with
everyone that I grew up with.
I do my crying underwater,
I can't get down any farther.
All my drowning friends can see,
now there is no running from it.
It's become the crux of me,
I wish that I could rise above it,
but I stay down
with my demons.
I stay down
with my demons.
Bats and buzzards in the sky,
alligators in the sewers.
I don't even wonder why.
I hide among the younger viewers.
I huddle with them all night long,
the worried talk to God goes on.
I sincerely tried to love it.
I wish that I could rise above it,
but I stay down
with my demons.
I stay down
with my demons.
I stay down
with my demons.
I stay down
with my demons.
Can I stay here?
I can sleep on the floor
Paint the blood and hang the palms
on the door.
I do not think I'm going places anymore.
I want to see the sun come up above New York.
Every day I start so great
and then the sunlight dims.
The less I look,
the more I see the pythons in the limbs.
I do not know what's wrong with me,
the sour is in the cut.
When I walk into a room
I do not light it up.
Fuck.
So I stay down
with my demons.
I stay down
with my demons.

When I think of you in the city, The sight of you among the sights, I get the sudden sinking feeling of a man about to fly. It never kept me up before, now I've been awake for days. I can't fight it anymore, I'm going through an awkward phase. I am secretly in love with everyone that I grew up with. I do my crying underwater, I can't get down any farther. All my drowning friends can see, now there is no running from it. It's become the crux of me, I wish that I could rise above it,

Bats and buzzards in the sky, alligators in the sewers. I don't even wonder why. I hide among the younger viewers. I huddle with them all night long, the worried talk to God goes on. I sincerely tried to love it. I wish that I could rise above it,
but I stay down with my demons. I stay down with my demons. I stay down with my demons. I stay down with my demons.
Can I stay here? I can sleep on the floor Paint the blood and hang the palms on the door. I do not think I'm going places anymore. I want to see the sun come up above New York. Every day I start so great and then the sunlight dims. The less I look, the more I see the pythons in the limbs. I do not know what's wrong with me, the sour is in the cut.
