Ditch My Shadow

Caved-in kitchen ceiling

Half-raised by TV

You and I heard the house screams

Tonight we're staying out late and

It builds tension like a wire

We've been around

We saw houses burn down

Now I gotta see my own way

The grief has gotten to me

It builds tension like a wire

No, I may never see you again, old friend

Don't make this harder than it already is

I want an abundance of life for you, my friend

But we must recognize our end

Found you early along the way

Bound by shared self pity

Ravaged by a city

34 years of concrete

But I can't drag you around

Until I'm a tragic figure on a fixed income

Living stagnant hell

Ditched my shadow back at the bridge
