It's been 30 days, maybe 34 Since I left my house, tossed and grown out The fires burn below Pistons creak and groan Under my feet the tension grows Built up like the leaves around my door They can say it better than I can After months of neglect I can start over again if I would just let it This is how we live, when we live somewhere With quiet nights inside making plans to make a life To keep it all safe inside and outside Dear anyone, do you know what that's like Remembering all of it Our building pieces stacked on top Hanging over each other and packed in Keep it simple Keep it When you don't go on Your song lives on When I don't go on The channel turns against the keel There's no turning back Thumbing my buttons Nervously in my bed under cold sheets Hiding the thunder inside of me My young wife made this shirt I'm turning in the surf With my hat in my hand and my feet off the ground At least it's a start If it has to be, I'll starve on my own payroll Trying to make living better I think that was the goal The oils moves, feeds the machine, the pressure builds The war outside is rattling Pushes smoke out past the rings My heart's been dreaming about sparks This heavy pull is strengthening my last resolve It's all burnt up The fire's gone You can have it all
