guardrail/pwrline

(album: placeholder - 2019)

Watched it roll out
I heard it in your canyon blood in your southern mouth
Such a slow sound
I was humanized, disarmed by all the doubt

And how she leaves her light on for my friend
It was confusing, now it's amusing
Such a means unto the end

Sun came up late
Now you're floating in the dullness of the day
Seeing no flame, no smoke or ash
No fire that burns our names

And then you close your eyes, close it all out
You see guardrails and power lines
Picture horses running from the sound

Every time I try to speak
I'm paralyzed by what I see
I know I'm not a part of you that way
Terrified by what I seek
You can't see what's in front of me
I know I'm not a part of you that way
I know I'm not a part of you that way

And then the colors will tell you where you stand
I saw yellow, I saw silver shining blue
I knew that I'd be here again
