lyrics

Summer cicadas scream in the front yard
Like missiles moving toward their target
I close my left eye, squint, flick lit cigarette
Send it sparking toward the city

In an instant, I am all that matters

Tonight, city lights swallow the stars to form their own constellations
And I'm the one the needle on your compass keeps facing
Yeah, I'm the star the needle on your compass is facing

You kept me quiet like a canary in a coal mine
In my mind, I had respect for the old times

Pointing at the moon was left for those not brave enough to reach
And I can rile, rage like riots, clamoring in crowded streets

Summer cicadas scream in the front yard
Like missiles moving towards the target
When histories' locusts come to swarm
I'll be the storm that rocks you to sleep

In an instant, I am all that matters

Tonight, city lights swallow the stars to form their own constellations
And I'm the one the needle on your compass keeps facing
Yeah, I'm the star the needle on your compass is facing

I hope you remember the boy I was
And respect the man I am

I am all that matters
