three-thirty lullaby

"three thirty lullaby" is the song that started with a Radioshack brand keyboard drum loop. i still own that keyboard and make good use of it (it's the one i used for the album). someday i will actually get really good at piano and won't force you to listen to clunky two chord piano riffs like this one.

lyrics

i can't see
the sun shining behind the smog
it fills the air and it fills my lungs
it fills my lungs

i'm twenty three
and these chest pains are killing me
i don't mean the ones you associate with love
with love

the city sleeps
the slumber of a thousand hearts
so heavy from this toxic fugue
this toxic ruse

my eyes are burnt
worn down from the tv screen
it tires me out and it makes me numb
it makes me numb

chorus:
remember when you were a child?
your dreams were big, just like your smile
but you can't go back, you're turning tricks
like a gymnast with a crucifix
and now you think you've grown too old
for those little dreams you used to hold
the night was dark but your eyes were bright
you once were blind now you've lost your sight

i can't find
a reason for this dumb facade
we play pretend but it's not enough
it's not enough

i'm feeling tired
i need to find a lullaby
one that lets me rest
please let me rest

chorus

don't wanna go where the buildings are burned down.
don't wanna go where the buildings are burned down.
down.
where the buildings are burned down.
don't wanna go where the buildings are burned down.
