San Francisco Serenade - Bad Astronaut

We run like it kills us to stay

If judged I’d be nothing till the day that I stopped you

As trite as these things might seem to anyone else

I wrote them down to document

My worth is you

My worth is you

Excessive city, we can’t afford to stay

But home to the sane, somehow safe now

We can’t afford to leave

Transformation and tragedy leads conclusion

Our world marches to drums of death

You’re my rest.

The stories will sleep

Say goodnight to them

You know it’s ending

Slow my mind

Silence untruth

Take my broken hands

Watch the world renew

The stories read of hospitals and alcohol and empty households

The bars were steeped in honesty while your retreat was east of me

The buildings fell on everything and everyone was incoherent

Our time is now.

We’re leaving

You’re my death

I’m your disease

Together we will bleed

Devotedly concede

La la la la

La la la la

Take my broken hand

We’ll watch it all ending

We’ll watch it all ending
