Midwest

Dark Streets

Steady Hand

I’m not going back to California
I am working on the inside where I’m going to have my baby
It’s a new myth that you have to find your dreams til it ends you
I’ve been looking and I haven’t really seen

I’ll be fine with my baby boy
In the heart of the country I can just sit still
Living dry is not uncomfortable
I’ve been hungry before and I’m staying anyway

I’m not going back to New York City
I am working on the inside where I’m going to have my baby
Empty buildings only occupied by wealth 
With their gratitude overflowing
God, I hope I find my way out

I will cry with my baby boy
In the heart of the country I can just sit still
Living dry is not uncomfortable
I’ve been hungry before and I’m staying anyway

Country, don’t you want me here?
Country, have I been away for too long?
Country, is there nothing I can say?
Since that baby never came?

Those billboards in the midwest
We drive away from
Those billboards in the midwest
We drive away from
Those billboards in the midwest
We drive away
We drive away
We drive away

Pray To Me

When We Go

They want safety, 
a guarantee
Find a good man, 
plant a family
But you don’t want a love that holds you down
When I go

Light blink, 
animate what you seem to see
Skyline, 
daybreak when you talk to me
And in that light a chance to be held down
Before you go

Have them come around
Get them used to falling
Waiting underground
Let them poke their little heads up
When we go

There’s no fight here, 
what you seem to see
Sky trails 
over so much energy
And memorizing’s all I’m taking with me
When I go
When we go

When We Go

Juniper, make my gin; wreath the room; staying in
