lyrics

There was a kingdom / Of latch keys swinging
Like silver birds around our necks
All of the orchards / sold off and cut down
To the Gods of emptiness

City of progress / Jehovah’s witness
Left by her husband with three kids
They were on welfare / just like we all were
Who will you lose to get ahead
Silicon Valley / You killed my family
Family was all I had


I heard you whisper / my name in silence
As I was singing on my bed
No one could hear me / You were so near me
I cherish every word you said

I am King David / My crown has faded
Into an ashtray of regret
Phone calls at midnight / Drowning at first light
Life is nothing you’d expect
You know I find you / hard to remember
But still you’re harder to forget
