walking in a late august haze
a summer queen in her dying days
she takes a hit off the ocean breeze
eyes blue aquamarine
standing on the boardwalk alone
let her last thoughts be of home
bright lights and the ocean's crash
warm sands flow into the past
i gave my heart to the ocean blue
i'll spend my winters daydreaming of you
feel alive in an east coast town
by day i swim and by night i drown
helicopter rotor blades
seagulls as the sunset fades
narrow streets to the shoreline
her domain on east coast time
skin kissed by the bleeding sun
her eyes fall to the horizon
bright lights and the ocean's crash
let the past stay in the past

i'm gonna write a gunfighter song for the ones who never had a shot
for all the people who spit on the line between "have" and "have not"
you better run for your life when i'm coming down the line
cause just like you took what's yours, i'm gonna take what's mine
like Marsha died in the gutter
and Sylvia on the dock
and everything they need was behind a door that's locked
i think about it when i see our colors fly
i need to leave this world a little better by the time i die
i wanna write a gunfighter song for the ones who never had a shot
for all the people who spit on the line between "have" and "have not"
you better run for your life when i'm coming down the line
cause just like you took what's yours, i'm gonna take what's mine
like the tunnels of St. Vincent's under the sidewalks of New York
or the streets of Minnesota where George Floyd was murdered by a cop
and you can keep your thoughts and prayers cause i'll pay no mind
cause i'll believe they wanna see change when the pigs stop lying
i'm gonna write a gunfighter song for the ones who never had a shot
for all the people who spit on the line between "have" and "have not"
you better run for your life when i'm coming down the line
cause just like you took what's yours, i'm gonna take what's mine
now don't get me wrong, i think some people can change
but sitting down and asking nicely will always fail to rearrange
and if you only protest when they say it's ok
it was never a protest anyway
and if you don't learn from the past it'll happen again
and if you don't learn from the past it'll happen again
yeah i'll write a gunfighter song for the ones who never had a shot
for all the people who spit on the line between "have" and "have not"
you better run for your life when i'm coming down the line
cause just like you took what's yours, i'm gonna take what's mine

i haven't touched my guitar for weeks
and the whole world is crumbling around me
it's alright
i don't mind
but don't you think
we should stop lying?
everything is on fire
everything is on fire
i haven't touched my notebook for weeks
and my friends stopped checking up on me
it's alright
i don't mind
but don't you think
we should stop lying?
everything is on fire
everything is on fire
everything is on fire
everything is on fire

i was gonna tell you all about my day
how i thought of something, but the something went away
and i feel like a stranger while i'm sitting in my house
and i feel like i should be leaving again
i should be leaving again
i was gonna tell you what was on my mind
then i looked in the mirror, it was clear it was lying
and everything i've ever said comes back to haunt me
and i see that i should be leaving again
i should be leaving again
maybe one day i will see you again
and you'll look me in the eyes as if nothing ever happened
wandering eyes won't wander in our lives again
i was gonna tell you what was on my mind
then i looked in the mirror, it was clear it was lying
and everything i've ever said comes back to haunt me
and i see that i should be leaving again
i should be leaving again
i should be leaving again
