Drag me off
Before I set my world on fire
Out and gone
The sun will never set tonight
…
No "What fors"
Only a can of red
It says danger on it
I have found another way

House is haunted
I just want to
Go for a ride
Out and on
Before I set this
Room alight
Left alone forever
And for crimes unclear
With my patience gone
Someone take me
Far from here
Yeah, burning that gasoline
Yeah, burning that gasoline

I wanna know
I've left the great divide
I wanna know what I've become
You think that no one else is lonesome
You think that you're the only one
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train

The sky took its cue
Every color and hue on display
Til thick veils of indigo
Signaled the end of the day
But each landscape that lies
In the mirror of your eyes
Turns to grey

On the edge of a knife
It’s like you’re living
Your life on the stage
You're talking
Through glass
We’re just square
Photographs on a page
Oh, we're never alone
But we're each
In our own little cage
You're here
But it's clear
You're just
Salt and shadow

You said

You're tired of walking
And you, loathe the ground
The sidewalk will barely
Touch your feet
And life moves too slowly
To hold you down

Settle down, I won’t hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Saddle up and I'll help you find
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane
So get yourself a car
And drive it all alone
Get yourself a car
And ride it on the wind

Less obvious
The further I get from home
How will I exist?
Blacked out, redacted

All the time, mostly I'm
In the crowd just taking in
The simple pain
That strikes again
Killer bee, carry me
…
It's hard to tell
If it's any good
It's rude to yell
But I wish I would
I'd sing every word
If I only could…

Wondering if it's okay to say
I ain't been feeling the same

I'm feeling it change moods
I'll shake ‘em off in the getaway
Yeah, I think I'm gonna drive on…

You've been longing for a moment
Just to breathe without the pain

I wait for things to disappear
Wait for the ground to stop moving

And if I make it out alive
I hope to be consumed
By lights and sounds
Statues crumbling down
As pillars hit the
Ground around me
I have seen
Things I can't believe
Was there a smile on my face
When you found me?

Can we make it about me?

And I don't wanna leave this house
It seems so played out
I gotta figure this out
Well, will you stick around
If I do?

What is this
Great misunderstanding
Where do we go from here
The future is
In the sky above us
What if we let it
Just disappear
…
The streets are on fire
The roses are
Dead and gone
On top of this
Mountain of madness
It's a long way down
So long
