The Smell of Florida After It Rains - Knives Exchanging Hands

The eyes, lies

Sun driven to die

Don’t let the calm persuade you

Live life for today

Never give up the dream

Overcome the odds built up

Never bow down before a man without his license and registration

Never bow down

Built it up on words too frail to survive

Loss, strife

You’re bleeding and broken

Burning and broken and misbegotten

Life has become the problem

The strength of what is real outdoing the fakeness in your smile

(I) never asked for a hand I didn’t need

Never needing to be pulled up by anyone but me

This was our common ground

Our shadows ran like children

Now as I burn it down, I won’t forget the words you said

This is the heart

Letting go of the disposition of now

Just let them go

You can’t save everyone

Just let them go

You can’t save anyone
