Lost In The Content

from Replacement Things by David Newberry

lyrics

Lost in the content, or slipped from its grasp?
I came here looking for an audience,
Now I’m hiding from anyone who asks.

Up above the hotel
As if no one there could see you
You follow in my footsteps,
And echo “take me to a bed”
They bought up the river that they sold us down
More of a joke I think then a scam.

Thought you were safe
Thought you were strong
Thought you were righteous
You thought wrong
You would keep it in your sight
Till you thought it right… to not.

In the shadows of the campfire
As if no one there could see you
As if there’s any secrets
It this lit up pit of song
That terrifying night when I learned you live your life
Like a riddle you never want to solve.
