The New York City air it felt like choking

A place where it can be laid bare exactly how we're broken

I never sleep regardless it's redundant

So I left it late at night and started floating

Im not from around here

The time moves slow when nothing keeps you grounded

But with the return I can see the damage is compounded

Maybe I go back to keep uncertain

Maybe it's that you picked the wrong person

Im not from around here

Cause everything I got is crying out

For what this place and time forgot

Everything Ive thought

Won't change the point of it

It's the lesson that it costs

I saw you walk out front it felt like treason

Tried to let it go but I couldn't feel then

I'll put it out of mind another season

I'll put it all behind another season

Im not from around here

The Spokane riverbank felt like learning

A respite to the weeks of losing sleep cause death is certain

Maybe I just pick to keep on hurting

Seems like maybe you picked the wrong person

Im not from around here

Cause everything I got is crying out

For what this place and time forgot

The cold salt water shock

A home I wish was mine

And the lessons why its not

The reasons why we're lost

The dream they sold

The lie I know I bought

Everything Ive thought

Won't change the heart of it

It's the lesson that it costs

It's the hardest when I think about the black rocks

The place where I can sort of let my thoughts stop

It's been four years I'm stinging from the cheap shot

It's been four years it's more than time that I lost
