From the recording Gleam
Lyrics
Gleam
Yesterday, I carried a frame
Black striped once with gold
Empty (empty) (empty) and ready fill
I caught the sad impressed (I caught the sad impressed)
Though they’ll never admit it
I showed a child the city and she gleamed (gleamed) (gleamed)
I was mounted against the glass
Of an empty (empty) (empty) coffee shop
It was once they looked and twice they smiled
I held it high and behind me (I held it high and behind me)
For all to see
I heard three smirks and the rest agreed (agreed) (agreed)
Fight fire with fire
Until I drape the cape
Your great escape’s erased, I’m not a liar
It still makes sense to bleed
