People, Places - Demo

There's a river down the road
Where he lay and no one knows
"There's an ocean underneath," he says
"It's just below your nose"
There's more to life than this
Smoking cigarettes and drinking piss
I've got a long time 'til I learn
The reasons why I hurt

Well, you reap what you sow
Made your bed but I don't care
I'll sleep just 'bout anywhere

There's a house upon a peak
Where she hides but no one seeks
If you look upon the stars you'll see
A home fit just for me
I'm made for greater things
Than crying for my broken wings
I've spent a while cooped up, perched
Down to the wire I will search

Well, you are what you know
You fall on your sword but I don't mind
It's the only thing that stays upright

There's a corner in a room
Where I sit down and hum my tunes
"There's a reason I am lost," I say
"I'll make it out real soon"
Bit off more than I could chew
My fingernails and tongue-tip too
I've got so long until I turn
Into the man I wish I were

Got nowhere to go
I break my heart but I just shrug
One day it will be healed by love
