[00:09.53][00:06.64][00:04.02][00:01.41] |
And he travelled |
[00:20.30][00:17.65][00:15.03][00:12.46] |
And he travelled far |
[01:43.10][01:37.64][01:32.12][01:27.29][00:37.57][00:32.10][00:26.65][00:21.34] |
I can feel the distance |
[00:42.93] |
The streets kept coming and coming and coming? through his tracks |
[00:45.77] |
And every scene he spied was all the same |
[00:47.96] |
He kept running and running and running and never looked back |
[00:51.35] |
He never realised how far he came |
[00:53.66] |
And it didn't matter that the latter part hadn't bothered him |
[00:56.28] |
Rather all the sadness that followed him as if it was a ball and chain |
[00:59.86] |
It was a long await, his posture had changed fraught with his fault and his anger |
[01:03.22] |
Until he wouldn't respond when they called his name |
[01:05.08] |
It was all part of the game, it started as a play to get ends |
[01:08.59] |
It left him with the breath of debt and less friends |
[01:10.56] |
And yet he never questioned where the quest went |
[01:12.59] |
And when dissenters didn't deem him special |
[01:14.37] |
He did his best to impress them and this led to regrets then |
[01:17.70] |
Still he was dead-set on success and distress |
[01:19.88] |
He only expressed through a sent text |
[01:21.54] |
Addressed to anyone he hadn't met yet |
[01:23.41] |
The tires peeled on desire's wheels |
[01:25.70] |
Again he said, "I can feel." |
[01:48.74] |
The city had changed him as he reflected on the decade that passed |
[01:52.07] |
His life, he reckoned at last, was a staged pun |
[01:54.20] |
With a fantasy masked where the grave was dug |
[01:56.28] |
A double life revamped and the other side bites till it tastes blood |
[01:59.70] |
So he drives to escape driving a stake through his great love |
[02:02.39] |
Incessantly trying to shine through the bars like a caged sun |
[02:05.02] |
Dissecting a piece of the strange run |
[02:07.09] |
With the dirty southern niggers working for crumbs |
[02:09.19] |
In some underground dank club |
[02:10.66] |
Where there's nothing but strained hugs from mother and father |
[02:13.09] |
And a strange son cause he can't recall when he became one |
[02:15.62] |
Though the shame is heavy and weighs tons |
[02:17.63] |
He still finds a way to place blame on what they've done |
[02:19.97] |
Visits they've stayed away from |
[02:21.49] |
And perhaps it was that all along so he just carries on |
[02:24.42] |
And he can barely call because the talks are rarely calm |
[02:27.15] |
He wears his calluses like a tux to a daily prom |
[02:29.89] |
Wearily feeling forever young until they play the song |
[02:32.42] |
And his patient wife waits gracefully while he breaks the dawn |
[02:35.29] |
Racing across the States to raise the stakes and cost to pay it off |
[02:38.07] |
Debating cons of procreation on the hopes to trade it off |
[02:40.60] |
A basic honest home relations, how'd they know it would take this long? |
[02:43.42] |
But he placed his honour in the way he crawled |
[02:45.69] |
All that means is he hits the floor harder from farther up in case he falls |
[02:48.82] |
He's racing towards the exit so disconnected |
[02:51.50] |
He felt compelled to misdirect his perspective |
[03:15.68][03:10.30][03:04.67][02:59.36][02:53.96] |
I can feel the distance(I can feel) |
[03:30.61][03:19.70] |
And the more that I stand still |
[03:36.34][03:25.49] |
The closer I get still |
[04:00.88][03:50.10] |
idon't wanna turn around,no. |
[04:03.83][03:53.23][03:42.37] |
to see that I'm all alone. |
[04:06.36][03:58.21][03:55.66][03:47.47][03:44.50] |
Just a pillar of salt and stone. |
