Sister City - IMPERATIVE lyrics

I did not Go outside today It's just as well My desk is by the window So I can tell If there's anything I'm missing There is not There is not I did not Think that I'd be in this place If you'd asked me No one asked you But I am So there's no Reason to believe I'm different than 2000 of me I am not No I am not The things I want are simple things Live love and trust and sanity And I am on my way What holds me back are crippling things Like apathy and lack of sleep Sometimes I can't catch my breath So I sit with confidence Because it's easy Thou shalt not Covet what thy neighbor's got But my god Is a jealous god What he wants Is what his neighbor's got What I want What I want The things I want are simple things Live love and trust and sanity They are not out of reach What holds me back are crippling things Like apathy and lack of sleep Sometimes my throat gets sore And I don't want to talk anymore Sometimes I can't catch my breath And my heart is beating wildly I can feel it through my chest Sometimes I smell the scent of blood It's pumping overtime to try to keep up Sometimes I swear I see People shift across a room There's no one in but me Sometimes I taste defeat So I force my tongue As far as it will go into my cheek
