City of Rain

Nobody means to book up a food bank
But my mood sank, moving to a place where you ain't
Apart from fate was five figurines
Laced up in a heart rate
But deep in color and sound was an interstellar town
Where the people move around like shepherds in a pound
From little school, middle school, greater school, later school
They cut me into something happy
Dare I say on a road in a life run glassy

And I'm splitting the knife
Cutting in the dark, didn't wait
The time of my life
And I traded it for a break

Big package with a heartstring
Small package with a start in, they harken
Fighting for a small part in apartments
No fighting, no frightening, just lighting, enlightening
But now it's over and I can't go restarting
Drinking tap thinking the past was something Spartan
Moving like a trip with some forward motion
Thinking I can land flat on my own emotions

(On this part of the road again, on this part)
Never treat a 'no' like you missed a train
Looking for a bright star in the city of rain
Does it paint a pretty picture?
(On this part of the road again, on this part)
Does it make you look, fitter
Or does it make a hole in your heart press away
When you say that you'll never find a lifelike yesterday?
You wanna get to the future, you have to go

And I'm splitting the knife
Cutting in the dark, didn't wait (On this part)
The time of my life
And I traded it for a break
