about

a cool mandolin riff with some cool other stuff

lyrics

The memories are so fine
But now all I'm left with is something too dry
Give up the ghost until you won't
But my heart doesn't ache
Even after the day has gone
I feel all the same
I'm not missing the plains
I'm just fine

Lost or found on unknown ground
My hometown keeps turning in
Now I only wonder which direction to go
So I'll walk towards the sun
Cause the sun never blinded us
And though it's bizarre and it seeks oh so far
We can reach it some day

In truth remains my own sweet song
A collection of wounds that turn me wrong
Don't expect me to stop as if it's too late
Because it's you or it's me
It could never be both of us
For one has to stay within the space of today
To move on

Look at all we've turned against
Who needs hope in bitterness?
Sold beneath the crown of us all
Well I laughed and I laughed
Out all that was left of me
And the world stays the same
Yet I'm all too late
To be broken inside.
