lyrics

STORYTELLER

I’m half awake, lace my boots and wash my face
Conversing with myself
Mirror man, he said, look it here, you’re halfway dead
Who the hell are you lookin at?

I’m at a loss, can’t recount the days far gone
Can’t handle going back
Drop your guard and it sucks you in
Nah, but ya can’t feel safe, never again

Crawl onward, turn around, but it’s all gone
Crawl forward, never turn your…

Platinum and gold, don’t mean shit out in the cold
Where the blind men cry for bread
Nothing built to last, smoke and mirrors, dust and ash
Living slow but die so fast

I had my doubts, could’ve been, but I’m not somehow
Cold showers raining down
Find your place and then just give in
What if there was no place, no solace?

Crawl onward, turn around, but it’s all gone
Crawl onward, never turn your back

Thousands of miles, slow footsteps
And the blank smiles
Had this time alone, but I’m sorry now
I can’t go home

I’ve been so wrong, know I’ve been
Know I’ve been so wrong
I’ve been so wrong

But it was also an excuse to hide.

Volume 2 is full of characters you know in your personal experience, and some you haven't met yet. It's the same for us. Is it rock or something worse? Are we traitors? To what cause? None. ... more
