Flush City
Flush City: Navigating Life's Shadows and Embracing the Unknown
Lyrics
I flush that city down without a thought
I disregard that city without hesitation
By that I mean I gave everything I got
By that, I mean I gave my utmost effort
I wait til you're asleep to make my move
I wait until you're asleep to take action
To subtract this from the stories where I lose
To eliminate this from the narratives of my failures
And I know Iʼm not gonna die tonight
Despite challenges, I am not expecting to die tonight
But what can I control when I canʼt stand
Uncertain about what I can control when I feel overwhelmed
For the love of everything I thought I couldnʼt do
Doing things I once believed impossible out of love
For the love of living long for the love of you
Striving for a long life and doing it for the love of someone
Something bad is happening tonight
Sensing something negative is unfolding tonight
I know it comes when my skin starts fitting tight
Aware it manifests when my skin feels constricted
And love will make you feel like a loser
Love can induce a sense of failure or inadequacy
Failure makes you feel like you've never felt before
Failure brings about unfamiliar emotions
I work on living closer to the vision
Determined to live in alignment with my vision
Living by the light of a dying ember in the wall
Living guided by the fading light of a dying ember in the wall
I canʼt even tell what I am after
Unable to discern my true pursuit
All these streets look just like the ones before
All the streets appear indistinguishable, lacking progress
And I know Iʼm not gonna die tonight
Confident I won't perish tonight despite uncertainties
But what can I control when I canʼt stand
Feeling powerless when faced with overwhelming challenges
And the moon beats down on me with silver hammers
Moonlight intensifies my struggles like silver hammers
Holding on with hands you know I canʼt control
Grasping onto things I cannot influence or control
And the way I look does not speak to my feelings
My appearance does not accurately reflect my emotions
Won't you let me stay until the morning comes
Pleading to stay until the morning arrives
