lyrics

So I’m leaving here to be alone, to be unknown
Cause when the evening clouds are low the restless city makes the whole sky glow
I pull my curtains tight to block out the light
I can feel the night watching me write
Watching my wandering eyes fight sleep

I’ve tried to see my bones at home, but they won’t show
So I figured I could find myself with a thumb out to the cold ring road
With topographic maps with home on my back
Now I’m stuck in tourist traps, following tracks
In someone else’s past
I boast
And fold my hope
In paper boats

Then I float back to my doubts
My faults they follow me around the same a year ago as they are now

I’ve tired myself to find someplace to hide
But when I’m out of sight, I’m out of my mind

Finally alone and
Sinking slow
In paper boats
