American Novel - The Brevet

Feeling on the outside, inside my town

This place has turned me, upside down

Can’t find no shelter, when I need it most

No place to call home, no house to lend a host

Maybe it’s a darker, darker shade of light

Maybe its' always, always been that bright

And I was too close, too close to see

That there’s a darker, darker shade in me

When the world is spinning backwards

Is a moment too much to ask for

When this world is spinning backwards again, again

Too many rocks beneath the water

Keep swimming and wishing we were younger now

'Cause we keep on breathing but we’re farther

From the shore, then when we first started

Don’t need a fire, underneath my feet

When walking on wires, the ends are hard to meet

Can’t help but feel tied down, tangled up in life

Falling down and down while it passing us by
