Most heavily influenced by "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire

lyrics

In the worst parts of this city, the streets of gold have cracks in them
When love’s without its counter, everything feels fake as shit
The night, it has its walkers, but they have all been born again
A man deserves vacation, go roll around and shed some skin

I just want to…

Go find myself a girl, give her my heart to break it
Get my hopes high as hell, so I’ll be disappointed
This life goes on and on, but it’s not really living
Inside these padded walls, I just can’t feel a damn thing

I hate to sound ungrateful, this city suits my every need
Yet somehow there’s a hunger that nothing pure can seem to feed
Without a single calice, my feet slip back with every step
I know I’d find momentum, if I could only break a sweat

I just want to…

Go find myself a girl, give her my heart to break it
Get my hopes high as hell, so I’ll be disappointed
This life goes on and on, but it’s not really living
Inside these padded walls, I just can’t feel a damn thing

I wanna taste a kiss from terra firma
I wanna feel her dirt inside my mouth
An autoclave is not a sanctuary
It cleans my every inch of life right out

I just want to...

To live well
Love well
Die well
And all in all, just do it all for me...
