lyrics

when i woke up and i saw
the world i thought i knew was gone,
that's when it dawned on me all i'd seen
was wrong. up until this point, i never knew the song.
probably thought i did. i might have wrote some shit
once upon a time, but i had never noticed it
for what it truly is; never had a clue that this
was really just a ruse to trick a kid into communing with
nothing of importance; just another fork in
the road that leads to nowhere but a grudge and what is more is
this distortion of reality forces us to casually
ignore the force of gravity. portraits of insanity
consistently get painted then believed by the naive;
it's image over statements and it seems if i could see
every single innovation, the little things that make it
sacred, perhaps this place i stay won't seem as vacant.

i don't know why
i keep on talking to these tombstones.
time rolls on by
inside this ghost town, i know now
i don't know why
i keep on walking with these doomed souls (soles).
time rolls on by
just like a tumbleweed does in a breeze.

and once i fell asleep i knew
this world i'd always viewed as true,
was a mere mockery; honesty, camaraderie
had all but been a mirage--façade--and as i was peering through,
it then occurred to me the work i deemed as raw
was nothing more than a distorted dream i saw.
so am i dreaming when i'm sleeping? is my waking state the fake?
and how is it that i can differentiate?
i'll never know for certain. every effort goes unheard, and
if and when these questions surface, will they even then emerge with
the same inflection i had posed? made to rectify the most
often pondered thoughts of wandering minds that never find their home
or way back to the base camp to debate that which happened:
were the spots we rocked or the props we got truly all for not? if that is
the case, may we all grasp it tightly and attach these
hand-prints. perhaps the changes made won't seem as drastic.

i don't know why
i keep on talking to these tombstones.
time rolls on by
inside this ghost town, i know now
i don't know why
i keep on walking with these doomed souls (soles).
time rolls on by
just like a tumbleweed does in a breeze.
