The Difference

from Be Well! by Gabriel Coleman

/

lyrics

the tower in the background
poison underneath our feet
and the garden we had planted
yielding nothing safe to eat

the temperature keeps rising
can't escape this fever dream
but magnolias are blooming
all along the tree lined street

i was moving, staring through glass
as the landscape spun away so fast
now i sit at the window, watching people pass
and i cannot tell the difference

pack all the essentials
grab the kids, the dog, the keys
my hands tied to the steering wheel
as we turn away to leave

the tower in the rearview
and our garden gone to seed
so we keep the a c blasting
all along the tree lined street

i was sitting and staring through glass
watching all of the people pass
like gazing through a window at the leaves of grass
and trying to tell the difference

everything i am
and everywhere i been
wrapped up in the place i'm in

everything i am
and everywhere i been
fills up all the space within
