spacetime - gabriel teodros lyrics

i walk through my city like an old ghost
whole neighborhoods and memories i hold close
they’ve been erased, buffed, repaved, and bulldozed
but i carry in me everything that made it before
still standing like the hope that comes aftеr a war
traumatized like, what was all that fighting for?
we lost livеs, i didn’t have time to mourn
i didn’t know that these moments they would be so short
my home is with the people i’ve been writing this for
without a place on the map to say it’s ours anymore
from rented homes to suburban tombstones i roam
it’s just echoes of my folks in the stories that’s shown
i know the essence and the soul that they trying to clone
for every neighborhood block that we see get sold
these moments that made it, that we hold so sacred
have always been about the people more than the places

i don’t know if home is in a place or in a time
or in a combination that lives somewhere in our mind
maybe we don’t know it until we leave it behind
or maybe it’s a moment, the moments that always shine
i don’t know if home is in a place or in a time
or in a combination that lives somewhere in our mind
maybe we don’t know it until we leave it behind
or maybe it’s a moment, the moments that always shine

my city is new, so i try to be too
comb through the avenues like a tourist would do
it’s still hard on my heart, i’m trying to soften some parts
smile when i cross a familiar face at the park
i think life is in moments, we only get so few
i can’t carry your weight, and still be able to move
so who am i to tell you you should share in my blues?
you never took a single day to try to walk in my shoes
and if you did it would break you, so just stay thankful
this is for the people that can claim what i’ve been through
i slept on a bus, when i couldn’t make rent due
and came home to plates of injera and lentils
i was never alone, that was all in my mental
lies that my pride said, i try to stay gentle
with me, and with you, all i know that is true
the best things in life always end too soon
