Rollerskate - Kevin Krauter

Drinking from the steaming street

Filling up my lungs with heat

Breathe out all that anger

Try to find some inner peace

Shadows trying to run me down

Telling me it ain’t my town

Be that it as it may

I’m cashing in my favor now

Hid it in the basement

Gotta keep it safe somehow

But it’s really quite a shame that it’s gone to waste

I was hoping to bring some home

As I slowly roller-skate through a wall of hate

I was hoping to save my soul, but what’s it for?

Tumbling down that hill again

Bodied by the rushing wind

Then I reach the end yet

Wonder why the light’s so dim

Listen to your roommates hum

Down the hall as I woke up

Chair legs on the hardwood

Think I’ll pour myself a cup

Sister for the weekend

Love you still when Monday comes

But it’s really quite a shame that it’s gone to waste

I was starting to feel so whole

Feel like every single day’s such a piece of cake

I was trying to bring some home

As I slowly roller-skate through a wall of hate

I was hoping to save my soul, but what’s it for?
