Shutter - Lewis Del Mar

See it all the same

Static unlikely to fade

Sleeping on the train

Thinking till nothing remains

Tapping the cage at the zoo

Wondering how I feel

Weighing moments I lose

To the time I steal

In the city of night

Hear the grinding wheels

Will the steel outlive me?

I’ve been hoping for peace

I’ve been hoping for peace

Feels like cheap cocaine

Terpentine, bleach, and salt grain

A hole right through my brain

Spent a grand to ride the free limousine

Tapping the partition glass

With some Payless heels

We want half the advance

In one dollar bills

In the city of night

Where the joy can kill

Will the steel outlive me?

I’ve been hoping for peace

I’ve been hoping for peace

I’ve been hoping for peace

I’ve been hoping for peace

Hoping for peace

Hoping for peace
