Lyrics

They strung me up off 22 highway
Just for speaking my mind
Not even in person or in Dallas by the way
This reel to reel life I must confide

I thought we were blue and well behaved
But really the stolen land is all paved
For I can't move, don’t run, until I settle in the grave
This Salem (peaceful) soul just can’t be saved

The witches had their brew
But none of them burned or flew
Shit man, I never knew
Crucibles come from an easterly view
This treason is not high by the way
I’ts something. smaller, quiet, like passing cars
Little betrayals we commit every day
That certainly make us who we are

I thought we were filled with ghost towns
But really just the sun is down
For I can't move, don’t run, until I settle in the ground
I will bury us in sound.

This is about love and life ending.
Two separate things contending
For value. Always pretending
I have nothing, no fairytale impending
An unrequited starling’s laugh
I will write a love song for a love I never had
Only remembered for a witty epitaph
I will write an affirmation for a life I don’t have

I thought we were filled with ghost towns
But really just the sun is down
For I can't move, don’t run, until I put us in the ground
I will bury us in sound.
