about

this one is just for me.

lyrics

In the back of a stranger's car
Maryland's so near, and yet so far
I wrote this song six years ago, but didn't know the words
I'm still piecing it together from everything I've heard.

Let's walk around
these empty fields.
Figure it out, then talk about
just what it is we feel.

'Cause this city's crumbling into dust, yeah
'Cause they'd rather die with it than give it to us, yeah

I am
not someone you know.
So despite what you said about us,
I said "I really don't think so."
Now I'll be on the road again
in no time flat.
And I can promise you
I won't look back.

So you like seeing people hurt
I get it, someone hurt you first
and I'm sorry, but
if you let that part take you over
like I did
I know that you will
become the worst.

Don't let the flowers of evil bloom.
Take this medicine,
and pull them by the roots
I know they've germinated,
but they can still be terminated
There is still
a way out of this doom.

Home
is
not a place I know.
Whereever my head hits,
I rest.
And whenever I feel,
I go.
I won't be long,
now
so please;
I'm gonna ask you
not to follow me.
