lyrics

Life: it gets in the bones of these times between the times. When all strong is gone, it goes from tired to terse implied. Random acts of random ask questions damned with faint phrase, like “what is it I want?” I want what I already have. What I have is this song; would I give it up if it's what was wrong? Do I keep things sad for these words to be had? Can I make-ready sense of this resident reticence? I relentlessly submit my feet to sore soles. What they can't take incantates soaring souls to work with possible gods that make places possible by compressing fly ash, like stardust, into new forms... Tit-for-tat, switching it for at—recognizing that the place is you! If you let it in it'll go to bat for you. If you stay in one place long enough, you'll find that it's munificent with truths... But if bricks and thoughts are trash, they still turn into grass. My foundation was cracked, I had to start at ground. A high-powered riffle shot me to another new town, where so many potholes are found; turns out these are my foxholes now. I didn't come to be seen and didn't mean to get mean. I came because I heard they scrub cathedrals clean, and to ask the hills for their decision-making skills. Now my decisions are most liveable, like my city. I decided to right-size my family ties, to be a sparrow in the Strip District—with a diet full of grit, but their bodies learn to use it. The Pittsburgh endeavor is my chapter 33. It's this town's choose-your-own-adventure that turns an end into a T at this intersection. Here the flashing light is fight or flight. The “Pittsburgh turn” is only left, but it's also right for this midweast Mecca—having mastered give-and-take, the three rivers wring these four boys for all the sound they make. And for our efforts, there's no more struggle to be heard when you can just feel the modern madrigals resonating Burgh's the word. It's auld lang syne that I flea. Pittsburgh now has me: it's this cadence of place that sets pace, so there will be no more maligning as the stars finally align. As long as we sing in time with them, it'll all work out just fine...
