lyrics

RUBY CITY
Suppose its a kick in the teeth when
Your whole life dovetailed towards the weekend
A schedule full of holes I suppose thats how it goes
Well I guess, well who knows
Ive held on for the first couple months though
The season changed and it left me in escrow
Not to be alarmed but I think the alarms are sounding out now
getting loud
If theres really someone up there breathing
Maybe craft up some better believing
3 bedrooms in a good neighborhood but its all underground
well look at me now, look at us now

Locked in the tower
Cover those rubies with your eyes, i'm alright
You lit your ship on fire
In the middle of the Nile
Locked in the basement
Cover your eyes with a tall drink of sunlight
You let your mouth keep running
In the middle of the night

3 days 3 weeks 3 months 3 years
I let my time keep running out
I let my days keep spilling out
I let my time get away
I let my time run away
I keep my time on hemmoraging out as the past gets away and imn
I let myself get-

Locked in the tower
Cover those rubies with your eyes, i'm alright
You lit your ship on fire
In the middle of the Nile
Locked in the basement
Cover your eyes with a tall drink of sunlight
You let your mouth keep running
In the middle of the night

“Distinctly collaborative and uniquely diverse, The Soods is an immersive artistic moniker helmed by musician Jason Roy.
