Leaving Charm City

Still steam punk statues, steal the sky line
Industrial chic and post-goth design
Apocalyptic at times, when I’m feeling this way

Like someone trapped in a time out of place
Like a cold longing, a burning to chase this
Forever elusive grace that I just can’t touch

Goodbye, well I’ll be alright
So long while the underdogs burning their light
And those baby brown eyes, I always tried, to love right
I’m leaving, I’m leaving Charm City tonight

Souls of dead poets, in dark corner bars
I stared out a gaze at a proud evening star
Shine in thy glory afar, that distant fire

I’ll never lose, these urges to move
They boil up in my blood, render me useless til I
Can lift burdens of proof off my unquiet mind

Goodbye, well I’ll be alright
So long while the underdogs burning their light
And those baby brown eyes, I always tried, to love right
I’m leaving, I’m leaving Charm City tonight

Leaving Charm City by that blood moon dawn
Don’t celebrate me, or mourn for me none
I’ll never be too far gone, but I sure will try

Maybe its nothing but just the last ditch
Some maudlin swan song melodizing a wish
Like a handful of pennies just pitched, cold blind into water
