The City Songtext
von Palehound

My body grows
My city shrinks
I feel her hands around my waist
Not like we′re dancing
Like she's pushing me away


My shoulders back
My stomach in
I rub my sweat into her skin
It makes her glow but not enough
To keep me in

I ride the buses, take the trains
I squeeze my figure through her veins
I am congestion
I′m the blood clot in her leg

In movie theaters, public parks
In delis, markets, coffee shops
Her organs fold and leave me
Gasping in her streets.
