Downpour on Locust

We were stuck in a downpour on Locust
Dosed with euphoria, shadows on good intentions 
Your vices smothered your virtue
It's in my nature, to abandon ancient echos 
That exist on the coastline in my mind
Follow the glow of the neon signs 
Venture to the ledge with a burst of intention 
Your cursed with impulse
Sanity leaks from the ceiling in your mind
The city is alive 
Your scheming and gleaming with dishonesty
My heart is heavy with underground empathy 
You curated needle graffiti on my bathroom walls
You disappeared liked clockwork
Down every shoddy alley
To fill your lungs with manic chaos 
Your just another suburban stray 
With calico bruises 
Trying to find the glamour in its grip
We were stuck in a downpour on Locust
Dosed with euphoria, shadows on good intentions 
Your vices smothered your virtue
It's in my nature, to abandon ancient echos 
That exist on the coastline in my mind
Follow the glow of the neon signs 
Venture to the ledge with a burst of intention 
Your cursed with impulse
Sanity leaks from the ceiling in your mind
The city is alive 
Your scheming and gleaming with dishonesty
My heart is heavy with underground empathy 
You curated needle graffiti on my bathroom walls
You disappeared liked clockwork
Down every shoddy alley
To fill your lungs with manic chaos  
Just another suburban stray 
With calico bruises 
Trying to find the glamour in its grip
