“Leaves are brown”

“Sky is grey”

And I’m a thousand miles away

“I’d be safe”

“I’d be warm”

My head changes everyday

I’m not dreaming,

This is real to me

Take me back to Sunken City

Take me back to the sunshine state

Leaving town was a mistake

Always sick of home

Always home sick

Working paycheck to paycheck

Just to pay the rent

My soul is parched

The coast soothes this thirst

I’m a slave to the curse and it’s getting worse

California Cursed

I was born here

I’ll die here

Until that day, this is where I’ll be

This state has swallowed me whole

Suck me down and set me free
