Heat Rash

(album: Souvenir - 2014)

Wake up I found a way out
Here at the bottom of a dream I had tonight
There's not much that I remember
Went down a rabbit hole and up the other side

I can walk with broken legs
I can crawl my way up sinking ground
From the bottom of these dregs to an empty side of town
Where I shed a weathered skin
And I leave an empty shell behind
With tomorrow closing in
I know now's the time to take this moonshot

Right now it's summer somewhere
If I can scrape this goddamn winter off my feet
Then this curb could mark a new start
Divide the past from everywhere I'm going to be off this concrete

I can walk with broken legs
I can crawl my way up sinking ground
From the bottom of these dregs to an empty side of town
Where I shed a weathered skin
And I leave an empty shell behind
With tomorrow closing in
I know now's the time to take this moonshot

Wall of sky at 2 a.m. I'm idling outside below
Standing on the edge of this plateau
The crows will sing my victory song
Cawing all the way until I'm gone

I can walk with broken legs
I can crawl my way up sinking ground
From the bottom of these dregs to an empty side of town
Where I shed a weathered skin
And I leave an empty shell behind
With tomorrow closing in
And I know there's never been a better time to take this moonshot
