Limnology Songtext
von Signals Midwest

Burn brightly, my fair city.
This is my last song to you.
I′ve been spending my nights stumbling drunk and arguing with claims I can't refute.
I circumvented this entire town, east to west and back again.
I walked a tightrope on the power lines across the river and that′s how I learned to swim.
You'll never escape it – it will follow you. I shifted in my seat at the funeral and searched for a memory of you, but all my efforts were fucking useless so I strained for a mental substitute.
But I can't escape you; you are part of me just like the body that′s glued to my feet.
I can′t escape you; you are part of me just like the tongue that's trapped behind my teeth.
I can′t escape you; you are part of me just like the mouth that allows me to speak.
You'll never escape it – it will follow you.
