Suburb of Nowhere

from Kearney EP by BEN TYE

/

lyrics

They threw a watermelon off of Yanney Tower
Juts to see its splatter on the concrete below
but I wonder what a human skull would do

I remember that night I went walking without my shoes on
through the winter snow
And I’m sorry mom that I brought that fear to you

I got home and they called off the police search
I was a missing person for less than half an hour
But there’s always something missing in a place like this
Slow down for that arch or you might miss

this...

Suburb of nowhere
Suburb of the interstate
On the boarder of not much at all

The horizon stretches long and unbroken
It's a world so horizontal it can crush your soul
But there’s gotta be something just across that line

A longing so deep it eats away your stomach
Living like an actor with an unwanted role
Rip off the skin off past the population sign
Hit the gas and hear that engine whine

(chorus)

There’s gotta be a place somewhere
Where you can just breath the air
Without choking on homogeny
I’ve got a longing for things that can’t be found
In this parking lot and strip mall town
There’s a highway calling for me
A long white line towards possibility

Outside the...

(chorus)
