Lyrics
____________

I've grown a little tired of fanatics
I sing for little bugs that eat out holes inside my mattress
And wake up to their blood smeared on the carpet
I wonder if they understand the fear my mom has harbored
I've seen her go through too much for a woman
I know she wants it to be better, yet she thinks she shouldn't
I search around for change between the cushions
And maybe if we have enough, I'll take her back to Brooklyn

When the moon shines over Ellis Island
I'll find the nearest bridge and take her down right to the harbor
Oh, if she may endure, I'll make sure there's something to offer
I'll take a bus to Central and we'll stay there for the summer
When the moon shines over Ellis Island
I'll find the nearest bridge and take her down right to the harbor
Oh, if she may endure, I'll make sure there's something to offer
I'll take a bus to Central and we'll stay there for the summer

I fall into the chains that house the wicked
Remember all the names despite the embers of the bridges
It fills my heart with uncertain resentment
Why is it that when I have fun, I soon yearn to forget it?
The frequent getaways became so selfish
I jeopardized the house, I don't know how she worked around it
She said she has a flight in just a moment
I hope that she can see the magic that I felt in Brooklyn

When the moon shines over Ellis Island
I'll find the nearest bridge and take her down right to the harbor
Oh, if she may endure, I'll make sure there's something to offer
I'll take a bus to Central and we'll stay there for the summer
When the moon shines over Ellis Island
I'll find the nearest bridge and take her down right to the harbor
Oh, if she may endure, I'll make sure there's something to offer
I'll take a bus to Central and we'll stay there for the summer

New York

Everyone is waiting
In a room upstairs
What are you waiting for?
Won't you go up there?

We are proud of you

i ask you how, was the time, since we crossed paths
it’s been slip, ping away, and you regret that
and that's what, you'd have said, if you wanted to
you’ll omit all the parts that have haunted you

you ask me how, has it felt, to become downstream
it’s sort of like, waking up from a bad dream
and that's what, i'd have said, if you dared me
i’ll omit all the parts that despair me

i’ve been lost since
and the sea, its defrosting

oh no
oh no
big wave

oh no
oh no
big wave

downstream

Dawn of Apples - Dream Sanctuary

VERSE 1:
You arrive some perfect afternoon
Name in sharpie, sticker residue
Walk to where the two roads intersect
Try to unlearn concern again

VERSE 2:
Monster outside of your field of view
I'll be a couple threats ahead of you
And if ever things don't make much sense
I promise I will hold your hand

CHORUS:
I've made mistakes
That I won't live down
Forever changed
Forever weighed down

This is a relay
You bear the torch now
Do something great
Do something profound

BRIDGE:
In the creak
Of my knees
There's a daughter

In the bleed
Of my eye
There's a son

OUTRO:
Is that not something to aspire to
I know the timing isn't opportune
Now that nothing seems to make much sense
I thought that I was in your plans
