Monarch

from Billy Is Dead by Tearing Up

/

lyrics

Saw the heat rising up from the pavement
took my camera out for a walk
there were tourists, they I think they were from England
and they started to talk...

"Oh Michael he acts like an infant
The boy just doesn't know what he wants
I’ll be talking to him for a minute and the next he's gone
always lost in thought"

You walk alone, fists clenched like a destroyer
You're floating in and out of many scenes
Your presence fits the character, the voyeur
who hopes that they mean something to somebody

I remember the party was good
I invited myself inside
did my best to avoid looking desperate, and tried to be polite
I keep my conversations are quick and convenient
I try to keep my words general and brief
No one wants their leaving to give others a sense of relief

(Please make your exit discrete)

And this I know, I travel like a nomad
or a monarch, gently moving their wings
Sending out waves, if only for the hope that
You’re not lost at sea, it’s just space in between

And this I know, I travel like a nomad
or a monarch, gently moving their wings
Sending out waves, if only for the hope that
You’re not lost at sea, it’s just space in between
