California Long

from Sad Old Songs by Arran Fagan

/

lyrics

I’m in here trying to build myself some silence
Got my books and this solitary wind
Listening to a song that’s California Long
In the background, while my thoughts spin

Been hours of hearing from the neighbors
Bleeding in this cell I share
Voices all around, I’m slowly-losing ground
With all my passions, thoughts, and fears

And I know that I need this
Is why I’m here I guess
But the better part of me is leaving so I see, and I feel it heavy in my chest

And all these valleys that I’ve conquered
With my pen, a Prophecery sword
It’s all in my mind, and I’m just doing time
Until those mountains loom once more

And down in this valley of a city
With flashing lights and all night signs
I love the busy streets but truly what I need
Is just a moment with my mind

And I know that I need this
Is why I’m here I guess
But the better part of me is leaving so I see, and I feel it heavy in my chest
And I can’t find it in the daytime
Just a moment before dawn
While listening to a song that’s California long
And when it ends the world turns on
