i've been chasing demon debtors
escondido's full of letters
screaming sense of tragedy never knew my name

the indie kids have all fallen silent
i've been writing out of violence
and i've been watching you
plummet through in silken sheets

the lights ball up on rain capped trash cans
and i'm not running as fast as i can
cause i don't care to get away
apartment's solid air is squalid
supersaturated
with the taste of change

and i am flightless
and i am stupid
and i am a biped in here

i've been chasing demon debtors
escondido's full of letters
solid sense of strategy
never helped my game

the indie kids are getting violent
i've been writing out their silence
and i've been watching you
extract yourself from canopies

the lights ball up on rain capped trash cans
and i'm not running fast as i can
cause i don't really care to get away
apartment's squalid air is solid
supersaturated
with the taste of change

and i am flightless
and i am stupid
and i am a biped in here


it's a number.  it means nothing
