lyrics

Knees (C wholetone)

the night is young so are we
possessed of the charm of chimpanzees
the night is broad we hear
its siren song on repeat

It says,
“Taste my tastes
your own way
move and feel
as you please

but my demands
will drive your days
all the way
to your knees.”

day is long without change
clock’s wrong eight hours a day
waiting for the sun to punch out
becoming something we can’t figure out

“Swallow me when you breathe”
says the day,
“Think of me when you leave”
humming to itself while you’re whistling

city stands beneath it all
city never sleeps
as we go back and fourth
between bills and dreams
