Repeat Town
He plays his favorite song on repeat
A snake eating its tail, each repeat is indiscrete
Pounding drums like slapping wet concrete
Rattling his earphones like cicadas in the heat
He says this song's a skeleton key
He's totally convinced it can unlock life's mysteries
His silliness once made her feel so free
But now behind shut eyes it's not this boy in her dreams
More happy
Please banish me
They climb the tree as they did when a child
Reaching the top the deepest of their childhood heart's desires
But now the branches bend as they climb higher
Is it a different grove of trees that now her full-grown self requires?
Looking up they see the pin-pricked sky and white moon hung
Silky flesh of fruit dances on her minds' wandering tongue
She knows she is ready for the new songs yet to come
As the same song as the one before repeats in her eardrum
More happy
Please banish me
Please banish me
So I can finally leave
This repeat town
Repeat town
The will to leave escapes me now
Decide for me
So I can somehow
Leave this town
A snake eating its tail, each repeat is indiscrete
Pounding drums like slapping wet concrete
Rattling his earphones like cicadas in the heat
He says this song's a skeleton key
He's totally convinced it can unlock life's mysteries
His silliness once made her feel so free
But now behind shut eyes it's not this boy in her dreams
More happy
Please banish me
They climb the tree as they did when a child
Reaching the top the deepest of their childhood heart's desires
But now the branches bend as they climb higher
Is it a different grove of trees that now her full-grown self requires?
Looking up they see the pin-pricked sky and white moon hung
Silky flesh of fruit dances on her minds' wandering tongue
She knows she is ready for the new songs yet to come
As the same song as the one before repeats in her eardrum
More happy
Please banish me
Please banish me
So I can finally leave
This repeat town
Repeat town
The will to leave escapes me now
Decide for me
So I can somehow
Leave this town
