I swear I've seen every inch of this place
A thousand times
And I've paced every inch of these streets

With my head full of wishes
And my heart on my sleeve


I'm so little in these familiar eyes
I am a master of disguise
I am black and blue

But you're all colourblind
I am but different shades of grey


I can't say, if this place was swallowed by the sea
That I would feel a thing
There is nothing for me here


And it seems so strange
That once this was everything

And everything I needed
Was well within my reach
But all my dreams have been replaced

By the bitter ghosts of memory

I used to welcome these borders

Where I could barely drink in
All the beauty I saw
But the milestones have all been replaced

By a striking chalk outline the size of my soul

And all the grace here fades into the background

Dodging sight except for a glimpse
I used to long for the Summer's embrace here
Now my heart sinks like stones

When I look to the West
