letra de portland, maine - city light thief
ropes looped around my limbs
tied to a bag in which
i drag along behind me
the shame of generations
it obliterates my footprints
and makes it harder to advance
but as long as i keep up this play
they will never see me sweat
oh, they will never see me sweat
i carry the weight of attention on my shoulders
a state that once frightened me to death
now gives the comfort of meaning
and a sense of alignment
i would otherwise miss
i draw lines in the sand
just to cross them and say
“there was never a chance to make it”
the atlantic be my witness
i’m too deep in this
i collect all the things
washed up to the sh-r-
that were lost in the vast, open ocean
in the hope to find that one piece
i can hold onto
i carry the weight of attention on my shoulders
a state that once frightened me to death
now gives the comfort of meaning
and a sense of alignment
i would otherwise miss
roots anch-r-d in the soil
wrapped ’round the bodies of
the ones that toiled beside me
to be never forgotten
to be covered in the sawdust
of a benchmark to the sea
but as long as it won’t leave this port
they will never know my name
oh, they will never know my name
i draw lines in the sand
just to cross them and say
“there was never a chance to make it”
the atlantic be my witness
i’m too deep in this
i collect all the things
washed up to the sh-r-
that were lost in the vast, open ocean
in the hope to find that one piece
i can hold onto
i draw lines in the sand
just to cross them and say
“there was never a chance to make it”
the atlantic be my witness
i’m too deep in this
“there was never a chance to make it”
