Brooklyn Lyrics

I said grace over nothing this morning

Facing the world on empty

Far too full to take in

Anything that could make me happy

A poet in a nine-five

Color dryin' on my palate knife

Salt of the earth dissolving into the city life

Reaching for a paradise

Stretching my veins into the sky

Everyone else can learn to fly

Why can't I

Words are not my friend this morning

Down between the lines they went

Abandoning the meaning

The only thing that matters in the end

Apathy is my only plan

Washing my dry and burning hands

Pacing my cage and wondering if anyone understands

Thinking that I can give advice

From a soul that I don't recognize

Everyone else can live that lie

Why can't I

I

Why can't I

I

Why can't I

I'll take it all

Stretch me taller

Break me open

Let me fall

I'll take it all

Stretch me taller

Break me open

Let me fall

I'll take it all

Far too full to take in

Stretch me taller

Break me open

The only thing that matters in the end

Let me fall

I'll take it all

Far too full to take in

Stretch me taller

Break me open

The only thing that matters in the end

Let me fall

I'll take it all

Far too full to take in

A poet in a nine to five

Stretch me taller

Color dryin' on my palate knife

Break me open

Salt of the earth dissolving into the city life

The only thing that matters in the end

Let me fall

I'll take it all

Far too full to take in

Thinking that I can give advice

Stretch me taller

From a soul that I don't recognize

Break me open

Everyone else can live that lie

The only thing that matters in the end

Let me fall

Why

I'll take it all

Far too full to take in

A poet in a nine to five

Stretch me taller

Color dryin' on my palate knife

Break me open

Salt of the earth dissolving into the city life

The only thing that matters in the end

Let me fall

I'll take it all

Far too full to take in

Thinking that I can give advice

Stretch me taller

From a soul that I don't recognize

Break me open

Everyone else can live that lie

The only thing that matters in the end

Let me fall

Why can't I

I

Why can't I

I

Why can't I
