Slyvia Lyrics

Working on this new song- it'll be interesting to see what you think of it.

Sylvia

She never had a name

She never once let her hair hang down

She never once did anything


Sylvia

She wore a long grey dress

Slept in a very very long grey bed

She never once did anything

Sunday after church she's out working the yard

Monday, it's back to the work, and the loop, and the kids and the grind she says

Ch.


I wish I could break this down somehow

Shake this whole routine

The grind can make you crazy

and tick away your youth and dreams

I wish I could take this down somehow

blow my mind and just escape from this scene

I know that I'm not crazy, don't need someone to save or set me free

I just want to be free


Sylvia

She sold her mother's ring

She bought a ticket on a big grey plane

She went to 20,000 feet and jumped


Sylvia

As she was crashing down

She saw the lights of her small grey town

She couldn't help but think "what a waste."


Sylvia

The future flashed across her cold green eyes

Day after day of the same grey life

And suddenly parachutes weren't on her mind


Slyvia

She wore a long grey dress

They laid her out on her long grey bed

And
