Album: Give Up

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

Smeared black ink
Your palms are sweaty
And I'm barely listening to last demands
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath

Where I am

I'll wear my badge
A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
That tells your new friends: I am a visitor here I am not permanent
And the only thing keeping me dry is where I am

you seem so out of context
in this gaudy apartment complex
a stranger with your door
key explaining that i'm just visiting
and i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving (x2)

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

you seem so out of context
in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that I'm just visiting
and I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

the district sleeps alone tonight

after the bars turn out their lights
and send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
and i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving(x4)
