Patrick Scott Barry - Man Made Rivers (feat. Adam Schnieder)

A lessor's skeleton on display
In a plaza off a dim blue highway
Remember earning your teenaged dime
Under the intercoms whine?

Bleeding out white pale digital breath
Amongst the gallery of life and death
Placing objects in a paper bag
Bits for a frivolous spend

Who needs another
Mouth pining for the past
It's creaking with age
And making a racket here
Who needs another man
Digging rivers for his own
(Who needs another man)
Maybe it's time to step aside
The pain might disappear if you
Mind your scabs, man

I swear this love, it wants to learn
My smarts just blunted by my foolish heart
But I'm slowly dripping
Sand down the shore
At world's end with these nameless saps

Feels so good to show
Myself to that imbecile
Sandblast the door right off the frame
Three notes should carry
The tune for awhile
And then you're out in the rain

Who needs another
Mouth pining for the past
It's creaking with age
And making a racket here
Who needs another
Man digging rivers for his own
(Who needs another man)
Maybe it's time to step aside
The pain might disappear

If you mind the sores
Miles away from shore
Landlocked and benign
Dumb and feeling fine

Sad reflections as I gaze upon
The reservoir of our design
Treatment plants pumping the waste
Straight down the drinking pan
