It Used To Be A City

from It Used To Be A City by Anthony Oscar

/

lyrics

I took a fountain pen
drained it all on you
me & my mountain men
have got some explaining to do

i broke into town
with fire in my soul
everything was shut down
like a gilder without the gold

it used to be a city
now it's just a film
it used to be so pretty
I don't know if it ever will be again

systemic changes
& everything starts to rust
now I'm out chasing pavement
dodging cars & parts of us

all those early fall days
with all those changing trees
I think that it was always
Nothing more than another day dream

it used to be a city
now it's just a film
I want to be so pretty
I don't know if I ever will
