The Ballad of Chill Phil is the story of a man casually strolling down a street while listening to music.
lyrics
And so I walk.
My headphones on and a cigarette in my hand.
I hear 'em talk.
...Well I guess I can't, but I'm happier pretending I can.
Just go about your day.
I'm falling away from here.
I'm falling away.
I'm falling away from here.
And so I lay.
I'm staring up, another charming girl on my left.
I drift away.
Picking up the pieces in a body that I never left.
Just go about your day.
I'm falling away from here.
I'm falling away.
I'm falling away from here.
So there I walk.
With my headphones on, another cigarette in my hand.
And there I stand.
(And within this moment, everything is forgotten.)
I'm falling away from here.
I'm falling away.
I'm falling away from here.
