Farewell To Iron Bastards

(album: Collapser - 2009)

Settle in 'cause the road going West go drowned
A river's running though this town
It picks me up that for a few more days you'll stick around
'Cause alone I'm sick, get sad quick, hate no sound
We're inside while their cars are stalling
Drying out with the raindrops falling down
And tonight tonight you've opened up my world, so thank you
Smiling hard like my face was frozen
I figure out what I can't when you're not around
And tonight tonight you've opened up my world, so thank you

Told you once that if life got too grim
I'd coast to Meadow Bay, become a ghost
I'd tie some weights on and think 'bout what I'd loved the
Most you, in Minnesota air, 'lone and standing there
I've been so close

In the midst of enough how I'd end up starving?
It's a foreign country
Never felt like home
Took a storm and a drink, washing out pretense
Puddled up on the floor soaking up defense
Squinting eyes makes the world make a bit more sense
You know?
