take it in - amity lyrics

verse 1:
i go outside for some fresh air/
a deep breath of second hand cigarette smoke/
it reminds me of the lives that we spend trying to get there/
and give the best go with a 90% chance of getting it/
do i live the life of a dead man?/
live and let go just to die at the red hands/
or look at life through the eyes of a death stare/
while the right and left are fighting to get fair/
i stare out the window at the broken concrete/
of the footpath and look past the lonely bombed heap/
a graveyard you hope is the wrong street/
but no, that’s home sweet home in the off*peak season/
skimming stones off graffitied buildings’ brittle bones/
pothole ridden roads and evil children/
but this city isn’t a criticism/
just an observation of the conditions in which we live and grow

hook:
take a walk, take a look, take a glance/
take a breath, take it in, take a chance/
take a guess, take a seat, take a ride/
take it all, take it in, take your time

verse 2:
here i sit, waiting at the bus stop/
early morning and my gazing eyes are bloodshot/
my headphones are playing all the love songs/
i get a free ride but i’d say it was a once off/
i pass the zombies in business shirts and take a seat/
they either ignore me, give me smirks or wave at me/
i look out the window, sit, observe and take it in/
on my way to uni, i scribble words while playing beats/
mid*idea, sirens whiz by me/
while i sit tightly, trying to think brightly/
speak politely, smile and grit my t**th/
why am i sick*minded? i don’t think i fit in/
the world we live in, work to earn a living/
and die trying to learn to work with what you’re given/
these words are written with blurry vision/
perps to victims, worthless worms to pigeons

hook:
take a walk, take a look, take a glance/
take a breath, take it in, take a chance/
take a guess, take a seat, take a ride/
take it all, take it in, take your time

verse 3:
cold and soaked from head to toe, walking in the pouring rain/
overdose on anecdotes, talking to a wall again/
so when they call my name, ignore them ‘cause they’re all the same/
i hold my hopes forever so to fall is just a normal day/
rocks and rubble, sightseeing in this concrete jungle/
and my phone mind*reading with the songs on shuffle/
the rain’s light beating as kids stomp in puddles/
an epitaph for light reading with a cross and shovel/
i dodge glances from petty people who spit pity/
as i pace through the many streets of the big city/
they look smart but half of them seem to be dim*witted/
like the surrounding buildings that are the least bit pretty/
i’m overthinking, painting pictures but i’m no da vinci/
i just notice things, relay my visions, hope you listen/
on the page i’ve written trying to show my lyrics/
have a bone to pick with the paper prison i’m known to live in

hook:
take a walk, take a look, take a glance/
take a breath, take it in, take a chance/
take a guess, take a seat, take a ride/
take it all, take it in, take your time

outro:
take a walk, take a glance/
take a breath, take a chance/
take a guess, take a ride/
take it all, take your time
