lyrics

I was dead on my feet, somebody smiled at me
Now I know all that I need is an anchor

Firmly in the floor so I can never stray far from what
I call home in danger

Because life at that speed seemed realer than harmony
But it feeds off the framework of commitment

I'm always packing my bags, tying my shoes and my hands
When I really wanna stay put

I believe that you believe every word that you say
But I can't see you doing it without giving up this

Bullshit quest where you sell your self to your higher god in exchange for what you want

Well if you've thought this before, then you must've seen the door
And decided that you'll walk through later,
after securing away the map and anxiety, only to find that you are indfferent

It's the strangest thing to climb up through the veins and the roots to find yourself back in the coffin
when you know damn well you didn't see yourself climb in and ask for this option

I believe that you believe every word that you say,
But I can't see you doing it without giving up this

Bullshit quest where you tell your heart to quiet down as you start the car
And end up in another town, till it catches up and you ride it out
Til the tranny's shot and you flip the car on craig's list for $500
Which is just enough to drink it off til you close up shop,

So please come home
