lyrics

all my friends are moving north
to escape the summer
i'm in my room
trying to hide from my mother

the sky is turning black
the rains have come
perhaps i'll plant a garden for you or
maybe i'll just lay down

i'm in my room
and i'm staring at the ceiling
sunlight's pouring through my open window
as i listen to birds sing

i don't want to get up
you'll knock me down again
but i'm too much like the sparrow that
returns every spring

"la dadaaa dada da"

i'm in my room
and i'm lying on the floor
i can hear my family underneath me
laughing under the floorboards

"ha hahaaa haha ha"

i can hear a cop car
traveling down the street
with his sirens blaring i hope that
they catch that god damn thief

the birds have gone now
the clouds have moved in
i can hear the leaves shuffling out my
window that is still open

and the cop's going home now
to have dinner with his wife and kids
and everyone is happy and full
in their well-lit kitchen

all my friends are moving north
to escape the summer
i'm in my room
trying to hide from my mother

about

Matt Aspinwall

with the infusion of friends’ idears, influence, and overall assistance, it wouldn’t be fair to keep putting it all under the porch of “matt aspinwall”. so “black lake” it is.
