lyrics

I've never taken kindly to the government
I avoid the church and school system too
They supersede freethinking with their fascist point-of-views
I don't enjoy being told what to do

And perhaps that's the reason I've been wandering around
On my journey across the land
I came to your old city with a twelve-string on my back
A dream and lighter in hand

You know I don't have a crystal ball
There's no way of foretelling when I will fall
Till then let's get together you can list my flaws
I'm sure you've seen them all

I've tried to gain some clarity in a world of insincerity
It's a rarity in this declining age
To find someone for you to love, gaze up at the space above
Grant the peace that quells your inner rage

I used to wanna be an archaeologist
Uncovering the secrets of mankind
But over time I've learned some things are better off forgotten
Just move forward, leave the past behind

I used to think anything was possible
I used to think that I might change this world
I used to think I should always listen to my heart
I think I might have had it wrong since the start

You know I don't have a crystal ball
There's no way of foretelling when I will fall
Till then let's get together you can list my flaws
I'm sure you've seen them all

I've tried to gain some clarity in a world of insincerity
It's a rarity in this declining age
To find someone for you to love, gaze up at the space above
Grant the peace that quells your inner rage

I've tried to gain some clarity in a world of insincerity
It's a rarity in this declining age

I've tried to gain some clarity in a world of insincerity
It's impossible in this declining age
To find someone for you to love, gaze up at the space above
Grant the peace that quells my inner rage

My maker gave me skin and bones with an undying urge to roam
But I'm feeling like it's time to go back home
