Anchors 04:43
Strange sounds hover more like harriers than hummingbirds Brush fires: Imagined portals to urban doors long ignored And without the facts we’re left to patch a story together from the scraps And if it's made up of parts Then where are the seams? And if it's a dream Then what does it mean? Anchors to times That seem like they were never mine to begin If it's made up of parts Then show me the seams? And if it's a dream Then what does it mean? Anchors to times That seem like they were never mine to begin Strings found ancient shallow barriers and swept us with them Bald tires made desperate sounds in an earthen court Oh how it contorts how bright it seemed And if it's made up of parts Then where are the seams? And if it's a dream Then what does it mean? Anchors to times That seem like they were never mine to begin If it's made up of parts Then show me the seams? And if it's a dream Then what does it mean? Anchors to times That seem like they were never mine to begin Giants of optimism meet in tired and worn-out diner seats

If I live long enough I'm bound to let you down Bound to be a cloud around to bum you out Nails on your chalkboard Allergic reaction Ice on your feet And if I live long enough I'm sure I'll settle down In ways I've rarely considered Growing conceited and bitter And just like anyone you'll find me in some town Surrounded by the cold and streets named after trees "Can my friends bum a ride? And did you know that girl who died? I'm sure you met her at a show" "Maybe we'll stop by before we leave" We charge for the sin but the guilt is free For the people in the know Just like today's newspapers become tomorrow's tumbleweeds A generation on fire Alive and inspired Becomes part of the scenery Another scar on your face Another deal gone bad A few abandoned dreams A zipcode in an unknown town Another friend put in the ground And soon you forget what it means Just like today's newspapers become tomorrow's tumbleweeds A generation on fire Alive and inspired Becomes part of the scenery "Can my friend bum a ride?"
