Emily Tonaring - Coyote Lyrics

Back then
The animals took back the city

You should have seen it
Coyotes
Behind the drug store
In broad daylight
It was crazy

It was like one of those
Video games I played
But you could still get groceries

How's it all feel so familiar
With nothing being clearer

You left me behind
Where did I leave you

When I was a kid
I could forget anything
Put it out of my mind
Like it was nothing

I used to know what to do

The house was empty

And the days were, too

I didn't have a hobby
Drugs are not a hobby

Still, I took a lot of 'shrooms
Got scared of the city

Fell asleep in the shower
Woke up shivering
Shivering, shivering

And I couldn't stop

Then I curled up
Under the blanket in bed

Alone

Alone

How's it all feel so familiar
With nothing being clearer

You left me behind
Where did I leave you

When I was a kid
I could forget anything
Put it out of my mind
Like it was nothing

I used to know what to do

I used to know what to do

Back then
The house felt so heavy

And the night was, too
My head was a mess of static
It wasn't like I came through
The apocalypse and such
I could still feel you in the world
Like we had only lost touch

And I thought I'd grow out
Of all that magical thinking
But Nothingness is hard to believe
When you've already lost everything

Then I curled up
Under the blanket in bed

Alone

Alone

And I thought about the coyotes
Until the morning
Was at the window
And I thought about the coyotes

Alone
