Drowning

(vocal sounds.)

Brownstone windows talk behind my back
Whispering and watching as I wander down the road
Harlem's air puts pressure on my chest
Hits this strolling stranger so suddenly exposed

Innocent and eager for big city games
Isolation, freezing my veins

Drowning in a city, hopelessly lonely
Balancing body, current pulls me down
While I was diving into streams of urban ambition
Dreams turned to driftwood
Floating all around
They say you learn to swim in open waters
But I'd rather walk away, walk away

Cars play tag at weary traffic lights
My voice is drowning in a flood of intersecting sounds
Indifference drips off the iron giants
I'm a shadow in the middle of a desolated crowd

Can't find a distinction between day and night
Isolation, losing this fight

Drowning in a city, hopelessly lonely
Balancing body, current pulls me down
While I was diving into streams of urban ambition
Dreams turned to driftwood
Floating all around

I yearn to sink into your comfort
Shelter from another gloomy day

(solo)

Drowning in a city, hopelessly lonely
Balancing body, current pulls me down
While I was diving into streams of urban ambition
Dreams turned to driftwood
Floating all around
