Wants/Needs

with headphones on the streets are silenced

cars hum along to disrupt the quiet

you learn a lot about a place, when you see it without a sun

you search for a shred of innocence but realize there is none

the open gutters, collecting water

the unbreathable air, we’re all aware

you learn a lot about a place, when you see it for what it is

it loses it feel of mystery and any hope that is can…

give me a reason not to just start screaming out loud

you can't convince me

what I want and what I need are separate things

all those distractions they’ll beg us to stay

we’ll give new meaning to running away
