Prairie Dog Cities
There and not again
I see you here within
My mind’s eye forests reel
They grow around me and I feel
Lost in a crowd
Gone and then found
Wandering deserts
And prairie dog fields
CHORUS:
Break me like a camel’s back
And stop my heart as my ribs crack
Endless crises sweep away
The safety I knew
Yesterday...
The city seems small
I’m not there at all
And then the universe collapses
Into firing synapses…
BRIDGE:
In between the lines I find
Empty answers, pyrite shine
Lemme take a break before
The existential efforts of
Finding a way out of here
CHORUS:
Break me like a camel’s back
And stop my heart as my ribs crack
While endless crises sweep away
The safety I knew
Yesterday…
And this endless journey
Brings me back to nothing again
There’s deserts between you & me
And oceans of time to cross them
CHORUS:
Break me like a camel’s back
And stop my heart as my ribs crack
While endless crises sweep away
The safety I knew
Yesterday...

This was written for a friend. I hope to perform it soon with them. I don't know exactly what it's about, but it's sad and sweet, and I hope you enjoy the lyrics.
