lyrics

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But all my dreams have been replaced
By the bitter ghosts of memory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But the milestones have all been replaced
By a striking chalk outline the size of my soul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
