lyrics

Your silver car
Through the long straight night
He talks to you, through the radio
“Son, you call this a life? There’s no love in a lie”

When there’s no vision of error
In the common way, to the common man
How can we expect motivation
To shift the pieces
And break the mold?


Seven hours in the wrong direction
Where are you heading now?
Another coastal town
Maybe this time, I’ll build my empire right
So I can sleep at night


You realize, your eyes were closed the whole time
As you drift asleep at the wheel
“The whole world’s mine”, you told yourself when you were younger
Now you’re old and all alone
With nothing to call your own
Not even a family back in the city,
Betty found a man who cares more than me


I need someone who will sit
I need someone who will stay
Be a reactor when I need
I’ll go when I please
But you will stay right where you are
Forever




You love being the stranger
You love knowing it all
Let the lust of capitalistic casualty remind you
There’s nothing you can keep,
There’s nothing you can leave behind
Without your name scratched under the lid
Of the box you keep your secrets in
Filled to the brim
But you can’t win
Guess you’ll have to start all over again
