Caught in traffic feeling wild erratic
It's automatic like the news to be tragic
There's something magic here
There's something in the air
In between the voices just adding to the static
I blow smoke and it floats in the alley
Homeless man shouts about peace in the valley
He lights a cigarette
And has a fresh regret
And asks for change quick before his finale
I toss a quarter close but keep my distance
The only kinda change that comes in an instant
And no one's finished here
In fact we're nowhere near
And even by the darkest night it's hot as hell's kitchen
Got me wishing for a break in the summer
Wishing that you call me by name and not a number
We're all just counting sheep but this is not the dream
Guess its's gonna be a long night for the hunter
This day
Has never been done
The sun beating down
Beating up all of us
And I don't have the time
These foes we thought were our friends
Endlessly ending up letting us down again
And all you have was mine
But I'm free
I'm free
Im free
And all you have was mine
There's ivy climbing up the walls of lost highway's
Putting in my hours
Hoping that the time pays
Crime pays
I know its paying you
I pray but never know who to
I'm on the interstate aiming at the silence
In the rearview mirror black and white sirens
And it's a flash of light that finally passes by
Uncommon criminals but they will never find us
I'm stealing back the murdered moments they have taken
Sleep walking with the promise that I'm waking
Once reality was just another casualty
Once the shadows of my past stop chasing
Aching just another part of human nature
State your intentions mention your best behavior
And from the rising Sun till this day is done
I'm never looking up I'll be my own savior
This day
Has never been done
The sun beating down
Beating up all of us
And I don't have the time
These foes we thought were our friends
Endlessly ending up letting us down again
And all you have was mine
But I'm free
I'm free
Im free
And all you have was mine
