lyrics

TOMB ROADS

Deep under stone, I saw a man put low by his own empire
Proud of himself, and his song cries "I must go higher"
All of his life, he knew to win, well everyone else must lose
Desire she craves, and it's fate, no matter the vice you choose

Got what you wanted but still have no answers
Searching out there for yourself or whatever
Well you gotta know, hey you're wasting your time
Before it was treasure, it lived in the soil

At summer's end, I shook my head and honey, you went your way
Well you always said you know what you're worth, and that life would pay
The words from your mouth kinda sound like they owe you everything
I say you're shallow as hell, but god damn, ya sure got a lovely face

Got what you wanted but still have no answers
Searching out there for yourself or whatever
Well you gotta know, hey you're wasting your time
Before it was treasure, it lived in the soil

Well maybe I've been too cruel
And ya know, well I played that fool
Hey, ya wanna eat, you gotta break some legs
Cause you always learn, you learn in the hardest way

Got what you wanted but still have no answers
Searching out there for yourself or whatever
Well you gotta know, hey you're wasting your time
Before it was treasure, it lived in the soil

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
