Lyrics:
Somewhere from the mortar 
they saved you from far away labels 
eternity means nothing 
but a sign on a bridge 

when everyones a stranger 
they call for you by your first name 
and laugh at jokes you once made 
when you were a kid 

somewhere down the barrel 
lies a bullet that i can't keep 
and in these waters i'm wading for a reason 
afterall, it's in my head 
i'm not a slave to a desperate lust 
and in these waters i'm waiting for a reason afterall 

screaming limitations 
fall silent on new york corners 
a terrorist's a prisoner, and a tourist a thief 
when paintings seem like bargains 
but they're nothing but wallpaper 
i'm plagued by small town fascists 
like a rash on my skin 

somewhere down the barrel 
lies a bullet that i can't keep and 
i've been searching for something more than distance 
afterall, it's in my head 
i'm not a slave to an unborn trust 
and in these waters i'm waiting for a reason afterall, afterall, afterall 

nah nah nah nah nah
