Can we pretend the city’s alright?
Deep breathes between the houses
With bulldozers at the door with police escort
The bones of triple eight Dupont reflecting the heat of the sun
Is it something tangible?
Three walls or a photo booth?
Is this anxiety, something we can use?
Cus, I don’t know, where to go
We can’t grow, like a cancer anymore
Can we pretend their voices are dead? Your wage doesn’t equal your worth Holy Oak, Raw Sugar & Friendship Cove Dozing at the Meatball
Mulherin doesn’t live here anymore
Is it something valuable?
White walls or a warm pair of boots? Can I turn this painting into food?
Cus, I don’t know, where to go
We can’t grow, like a cancer anymore
Automobiles in a stubborn language Five dollar bill
Bins for a charity smile
and discount silk
Cus I don’t know, where to go
We can’t grow, like a cancer anymore
