The City Is A Bone

Staring at the sky
All the buildings in a line
One more Brutalist cube
In the grand design
Last house on the right
Return in the dead of night
I've been away awhile
All the lights are off inside

The city is a bone
Beneath the search dog's nose
You bit off more
Than you could chew

Remember your school pride
It was the unrelenting kind
Bodies knock against our ship
Like the moon that moves the tides
And on reunion night
Toast the ones they left alive
I have vision, I had plans
Now the future ain't too bright

The city is a bone
Beneath the search dog's nose
You bit off more
Than you could chew
