Crawling South - Heartstreets

Turn around and let this shit play out

You’re in a rush, I’m in no hurry crawling south

Crawling south (x 2)

Doing the things I’d never thought I’d do

Burning bridges light the way I’m coming through

Bite my tongue this bottle slurred my speech

Pinching pennies, counting blessings I can keep

When I feel small I call your name

When I am small I yell your name

When I feel small I call you name

But when I am tall you’ll feel the same

When the beat comes down

And I lost my crown

When they see my frown and they think it’s a smile just upside down

When the people laugh, I just don’t belong

Last time I felt I did I was probably wrong

And I walk the streets and I walk the walk and I talk the talk

And I pause in mid sentences sometimes, I forgot

I know what’s up but I’m down here that much is clear

Know what I want, I don’t know what I want!

No books on my shelf

Stripped down, no hooks in my shell

I don’t want to pear out, ended up in hell in a past life too late til I

couldn’t tell

Licked the last drops now it slurred my speech

Life got me too weak to speak

Self pity when the bottles empty

Glass reflection looking back at me

And if I take the time to analyze the what the when the where the whys

Attentive to my others cries I’ll find myself a bit more wise

I can say that now I know, how it feels to drown real slow

Numb to everyone’s ego

Can you try and save my soul

Time goes by

I’m losing my head again

Strapped in a jacket yeah

Just me and my dead-end friends

Familiar, familiar faces

Spent a king’s fortune for favors

Squandered the chances we gave us

I gave you, you gave me

Crawling south (x 2)

When I feel small I call your name

When I am small I yell your name

When I feel small I call you name

But when I am tall you’ll feel the same
