In the end
The city's might would suffocate the rest
But like a friend
She took me in and held me to her chest
In the space between existences
The needle pulled the thread
And once again
We found ourselves together at the edge
In my mythology
The siren begged the boats out to the rocks
And now she beckons me with amber light and cemetery walks
But Olmsted isn't long enough to wrap around both ends
So once again
We find ourselves together at the ledge
In the bed
She whispers through the wall to cut through dreams
And though one step ahead
I'm out of character, it seems
To cast aside my calling for a spectre in the night
But once again
I found myself awoken at your side
In the end
The city's might would suffocate the rest
But like a friend
She took me in and held me to her chest
In the space between existences
The needle pulled the thread
And once again
We found ourselves together at the edge
But when December's novelty is lost within the sleet
And we've regressed to corner stores and movie theatre seats
Well I would never promise something I can't follow through
So once again
I'll find myself directed back to you
