So I Drive
when I get mad I'm so destructive
it's not about you - trust me
it's just that I give a shit
(or maybe two or three)
about what you just did
and the way that it ended.
I'll smash glass on the driveway,
I'll break any lamps in my violent flare,
and then I'll take the highway
to the Flint Hills or God knows where.
I'll drive with the windows down and play
my music to a tune that makes me swear
that I'm never coming back -
I don't wanna deal with all of that.
So I drive and I drive,
across the rolling hills
where the birds fly and the land cries
for the silence of the still.
And I think about the fact
that I don't ever wanna subtract
the words I said when I was off track.
So I drive and I drive,
through this land I call home
where the grass sways and the cows graze
it's the music of being alone.
When I get down I lay in bed
feeling sad and feeling numb
I think about everything I've ever said
and how it all just sounds so dumb.
So I'll lay there for days
in my melancholic haze
waiting for a morning
when I will finally raise
myself out of this pitiful phase.
then one day I get up,
So I drive and I drive
across this landlocked state
passing through the golden planes
that I tell myself I hate -
where there exists no clean slate.
So, I drive and I drive
through this never changing town -
where I always feel down,
the tears rolling down my cheeks
feeling confused and more weak.
So I drive and I drive
looking out my window as I cry
I pray to god I'll see a sign
as I search for words I'll never find.
