I tried to reach the bards of the streets
Guide me through song
As I move along
But all the ghosts had carried on
I got lost amid the changing scene
So I wandered through the park of centuries
Searching against the beat of a metronome
Warm benches next to luxury homes
Hang man's elm won't you carry me
Hidden wars
In your head
Echoes of the past vibrating
I feel it in my chest
You may be gone
But we'll have no end
Til you see it
Can't remember when I died
But one day
The shell of the past
Became another home
Stared in the mirror through my soul
I'm alive to do it all again
Although you have the same face same name
Did you grow?
Did you even change?
Or maybe you're just not the same
I still love you now anyway
Did I try? Did I lie?
Did all the dreams I sailed away with
Just hang me out to dry?
But then I know
That in the end
We were dreaming
-Piano!-
I tried to reach the bards of the streets
Guide me through song
As I move along
And now I guess I'm moving on
I found my way within the changing scenes

The last thing I wanted to do before leaving New York was record music with some of my closest friends. In the days leading up to my departure, my lease had ended, and I crashed at friends' places. For those few days without a job or a home, I had nothing to do but walk the streets of NYC one last time, and write music. I sat down on a bench in Washington Square Park one afternoon and thought about the years I spent in NYC and what was to come, and I wrote the lyrics to this song. It was recorded at a friend's studio in Brooklyn.
