The Queen City (Restless v. Nestless)

from Sophomore by Darth Nater

/

lyrics

There’s greater places beyond the snow
I’m getting sick of buffalo
I love you but it’s time to go

I’m stuck in sour syrup
I’m an embryo
Waiting for this city to rear me and kick me out as I turn twenty

Amniotic is Niagara Falls tonight
Amniotic is Niagara Falls tonight
It could never be the ocean that had given birth to me
It could never be so natural, but a section of the sea

But for me
If my body’s a temple, it’s crumbling
But for me
If my mind is a surgeon, she’s fumbling with the scalpel and the axe
If I’m an acrobat, I’m landing with a crash
As the disks inside my back all dislocate with a coordinated snap
There goes my spine, who knew I had one all this time?
