lyrics

Blindfolded in the back seat
A captive comforted by the smooth
Glide of the street

Ushered by an unknown driver

He shouts to me
“We’re headed south.
A coarse and jagged route.”

I brace as his warning fulfills

Reverberations inch the cloth
From my eyes
To find the driver’s long gone,
Bailed out leaving a crudely drawn map
Of the distant horizon

It beckons me
In promise of clarity
beyond these conditions adverse.
And I was born of my father’s ambitions
for better or for worse

It seems now fuel is running low
As battered tires
Veer off gravel road

And for the first time I feel truly lost.

Gripping the wheel with all I have
Straining to hold
A straightened path

As I submit to curves,
A hostage without will
I’ll get what I deserve

And I never asked for any of this
This trying, guideless ride
But I’ll be damned if I falter
And for that I must survive
