The Souvenir Scheme

(album: Masks - 2014)

We'll take flight from shore to shore
Make maps, the world is finally yours
This is what we do
Burning down the beaten path
Pushing forward with broken backs
We've made it through

Sometimes I have to remind myself
When I'm broke and I'm lost in the world that there's nowhere else
I'd rather be than wandering with my makeshift family

So bottle up your hopes and dreams
Our lives a memento caught in a souvenir scheme
Ignoring all the signs, and skipping over landmines
My brothers are all that I can trust
While I can't seem to satisfy my wanderlust
Burning down the beaten path
Pushing on with broken backs

Everyone is living a fucking lie...

Sometimes I have to remind myself
When I'm broke and I'm lost in the world
That there's nowhere else
I'd rather be than
Wandering with my makeshift family

I was 1,000 miles from home
I was sleeping on floors and losing everything I owned
Just wandering aimlessly into the unknown
And we built an arc that could save us
And we took a risk that could break us at any moment

Hey you!
Yeah you, I'm fucking talking to you!

Don't look down on me, you're fucking with a dynasty
No one wants to see your victory
You haven't seen the last of me

And we'll follow the road any way that the wind blows
'Cause this love is for life, we couldn't change it if we tried
