Andre Bernier - Vanguard Lyrics

Town is tall
Overgrown
In a different way

This town is wrong
What is conquered
Worn on flagstaff

And walk around
A little while
I'm in a different space

Paragon
Young and lost
In the fourth street station

Staithes earth
Brought to heel

Driving slow
Start of snow
It'll be 4:15
By the time we're home

Driving on backroads
So you can sleep

Where the light won't reach

You're killing time
Living life out in the highlands
Maybe I'll find my way out before the year

Sing you songs
Like these
With lesser themes
Dear, I'd make a fool of me
If I could see you when the Frost had cleared

I know this place
Gives new meaning to the high life
But I'm not cut out for walls
That rise this steep

The sonder's gotten soft
All these people look like props
I'm sure they can relate but not to me

I stood for hours
Waiting on that
Bus tooks years
In the port authority
There's a saddness
Words won't make

Feeling tied down here
And everywhere
But right now I don't even care
My silence is the song and you're the theme

(I don't mind
There's a certain
Kind of silence
Being in a crowd
Speaking out loud
The faceless way)

This earth is softer
In the quiet dusk of winter
Got too many things
In my head I can't face

I think too far ahead
The longest term in the fleeting sense
It's easy to forgive what's not took place

84
Gonna be
Parking lot
A couple hours
I'll be sleeping with a soundness that a grave
Has never seen, I swear

Blackened road
Start of snow
It'll be 4:15
By the time we're home

Drive on backroads
So you can sleep

Where the light won't reach
