lyrics

In 1992 you were a familiar witness to my birth
You held my heart from the second I appeared on this earth
In your concrete hands that people paint as canine claws
Soon I had to leave but never stopped aching from afar
For all your dirt and grey and heat and cold
All your unraveling secrets and stories waiting to be told

All your great names and all your great faces
Are not what's calling me
Invisible, nameless and faceless
When I want to, is what I want to be

You do not try to make amends
You do not try to shape me and change me

Like a wide-eyed wondering child
I'm soaking up the burning neon lights
In the darkness and internal stillness of a winter night
Spent on my own but with you by my side
Spent on my own but with you by my side.
