The Rice Mill

from Seeds by Thrift Store Talent

lyrics

running all the lights like we own the streets
yelling like a bad dog that never sleeps
you could use a new start like me
but i think you will always be

black and white as coal and ash with no clear flame
growing old and grey, but you will never change
the truth is you never knew
and that's why i'm leaving you

it's enough for us
dirty roads and a pile of rust

tearing up the backroads
with friends who couldn't keep up
so scared of change but so unaware
of the hate that kept us there

calling out the windows so
loud we heard the echoes
no secret kept in these old streets
that we would leave buried

i am not so hard to know
easier still to let go
i am not the one you hate
i am just the fool who stayed

so keep a ribbon 'round your soul
in case i ever want to know
how many years you've had on me
i'll forgive if you agree

that we are better off this way
forgetting every word we say
shrugging off our bleeding knees
and laughing 'til it hurts to breathe
