Story Behind the Song
Lyrics
You are the cave where melody came to sleep
Hibernating with fields of cement shoes,
the killing we dreamed through the killing of a flavorful accident
Where'd we me meet the shadows? In our own reflections?
The broken twigs of the trees inside
the silk cocoon of the martyr's eyes
the deviation of the drilling into the middle of the tears,
hovering in the corner, under a crowded door
I'm glad I found my keys,
I'm gonna visit ghost towns all across the country
(I've got to find my people)
The grace of wine and gas laid out on open roads,
lying on my back, swallowing the dust of the sun
Spin me around,
I want to go back
forget it all,
I wish I was through
But I never am,
no, not with you
I'm awaking this city's sleeping adolescence,
so tired of driving inside-out of the conversation
One the street, I'm fading out under plastic leaves
falling into this river of mirrors
(*not sung (screamed) in this version)
Without you, I'm lost, I'm nowhere; Without you, I'm just myself
Without silence, I am alone.
