Lyrics
Our Favorite Friend
Music and Lyrics by: Stephen Bennett
I think I lost my poetry
Caught in the gaze of hesitation
How many times can I lie to myself?
What wouldn’t change if I let go?
Let the levees rush
Lay the country low
How can the cities burn when we won’t go?
Is death our favorite friend
in a corner of grateful men?
I empathize, I know your name
You never asked for much, just control
And then pavement angels learn to beg for change
When did we trade our spirit for a desperate role?
Let the levees rush
Lay the country low
How can the cities burn when we won’t go?
Is death our favorite friend
in a corner of grateful men?
