It was the second turn we took, when we knew we were done
When we conceded to the snow-covered road stretched in front
With one more traveler out there, all alone
What did it want from us?
Is "a dream" not enough?
But still more weight was added on through a speaker, a phone
Hollow response to be delivered through hollower tones
There are some moments when you hear the earth say
"Something's got to go"
There are some moments everybody just knows
How much do you hate yourself today
If it's as much as me, are we both okay
How much do we hate ourselves today
Is it enough to get to the next state
Watch the world start to burn in good company
Squadding-up at hell's gates
It is the "force yourself to climb when you keep losing ground"
Inside the marrow of these bones that has kept us around
And if we make it to the point where they say
"You better not look down"
You better still be here with me
How much of a price are you willing to pay
Sidestage with an amp covered in paint
Is it enough to live through the default days
There's still a soul to this, and that is everything
Long drive, I can't turn back
Gotta make it count
Got a broke wrist but we broke even
Talk loud till it's ghost season
Slow breathing, it's a fast life
And I hate the first thoughts on last nights
Hate the last call, been playing fastball
Hate every word that I say with slackjaw
That's all - they ain't ever want an encore
Been in a slump - gone beyond a sophomore
All we got's all we got - it's fine
Burn all these words and get lost in time
Funny going broke never cost a dime
Funny how hope never crossed my mind
Dream ain't worth much if you never wake up
Imma prove that I'm alive
Hearts in a room watching everybody move
Then I hit another county line and drive
