lyrics

I Found Rome Brick, I Leave It Marble.

The boys you lay with will reconsider,
My heart it beats for you cold and bitter.
Home is just an idea isn’t?
Like love, home’s just a feeling until you make it.
But I wont make this home.
No I wont make this home.

But you were a bird,
And you flew south for the winter.
And I ground my teeth to the gums,
Until the day that you came back.

I thought I was right,
But in retrospect I guess…

Given the chance I would set you free,
Given the chance I would set you free,
Given the chance I would set you free,
And pray for the day that you fly back to me.

But I can’t let you go.
No I won’t let you go.

I thought I was right,
But in retrospect I guess I was losing touch,
And the weight of the world it came crashing down on me,
Like an old Kansas house, that I just could not avoid.
I am the ghost of your hopes and dreams,
I am the end all of everything.
(I was losing touch)
