City Lights

Running through the nights The city lights and my shame Heart inscribed empty and unsure On a gravestone missing letters of my name The people who bring poppies Walked away with everything I had They come to see me only out of guilt to find themselves Be understanding and everything So here I go Giving you everything and all of me Spirit chained in tow Don't let me hide Giving you everything The whole of me that I hold onto inside Here I go Here I go Bare feet on paua shells I am the sea It's me alongside my waves But then we're diving off the rocks My head spins my body locks And this is all I am right now anyway The people who surround me They control everything all that I am And I keep thinking did I miss that time to find myself Be understanding and everything So here I go Giving you everything and all of me Spirit chained in tow Don't let me hide Giving you everything The whole of me that I hold onto inside Here I go Here I go Oh here I go Giving you everything and all of me Spirit chained in tow Don't let me hide Giving you everything The whole of me that I hold onto inside Here I go Giving you everything and all of me Spirit chained in tow Don't let me hide Giving you everything The whole of me that I hold onto inside Here I go Here I go Here I go Here I go
