Distance 03:54
Oh failing sun; the verses stole the taste from our tongues carved in stiff board motel beds where we wrote our resolutions in lonesome rooms across the land I kept my distance from the fights put my knuckles through the plaster and said farewell by beacons where the city glowed like dying fireflies and when rest didn’t find me I no longer sought it spending nights with the moon waiting on a rose to bloom round and round it spins- round and round again vicious words bounce off of the walls of that room I’m kicking curses into the ground again to give and live and yearn to lose what I gained from the miles tucked into the rearview And I know that you’re afraid of the haunts those ideals lost, kicked, and mocked by the abuses in American Nights the same songs, the same fights and I’m afraid these words don’t mean a thing and I’m afraid this distance is everything and I’m afraid I will claw my whole life just to hear your voice in the night and I’m afraid this distance might be nothing.

We’ve been out here for long enough waiting on a ripple to sail us to the shore or on the sun that wanes and rains to cleanse for not being the ones we needed to be hard glares in the bus terminal dream tell me mumbling outsiders still see how to pull questions from the well: “why are we here and what makes you bleed? Are we everything or nothing or somehow in between?” (are we destined to walk through this life half-asleep?) A lusting pack of wolves; we roam the land: truckstop suffocating, heads in our hands burning up the miles in desert heat (x2) am I with you and you with me? (x2) because it’s not enough to know what it is that we seek in the heart restless, our souls will stray like sailors who’ve come to port long lost on the sun and burned by the rays standing eye to eye buried by the waves sons, brothers, sisters, daughters and the distance between sons, brothers, sisters, daughters in search of meaning are we brave enough? Have we bled enough? what distance is too far to the stars? with our sail in sight of the trees we ignore the shore when it calls why are we here? Our names erased by the tide. there is no port in the storm.

Plains 03:02
I won’t forget when you said to me: “I wasn’t ready for that end” but now our way of life has disappeared all we feared with the breeze blown in makes it hard enough to say I’m not ready for death yet when the last ray catches my gaze take my ashes to the western plains and when you throw me to the trees I’ll be singing time’s refrain from sea to endless sea There is certain liberation in the dark we spoke of our blood cold and drained flowing the roads that we walked on and though the ship did sink we learned to sing in the deep with misery scrawled in notebooks sprawling the landscape It was more than you could know or see it’s always been much more than I could believe When the last ray catches our gaze they’ll take our ashes to the plains and when they throw us to the trees we’ll be the songs they sing.

There’s more to this than misery callused hands and pleading from our knees counting stones ‘til our names are carved or carried off in the wind I spent five years in perfect solitude without you embracing the distance and time spent measuring our fates from the bridge to the river but if you believe in this, you lean on me I’ll offer my shoulder and you can do the same our hearts beat the same with words burning bright we’ll remind the blind of sight have we lost that sense of forward thought? As if there is cause to the violence to the ruins and the wounds and the apathy and not a good enough reason to walk across: the cracks the railings from ledges to the other side we can’t allow idleness to eliminate true vision with eyes open to all the violence that binds and blinds in this ruined land that I still don’t know how to comprehend so I won’t pretend but I’ll keep my mind open and my heart far from hatred while I reject the notion that life should only serve to chain it and break me as I lay down this ink aiming to cross the bridge again with you alongside closing that distance and making right the rest of our time here one last drive, one last song no more talk of suicide or how we didn’t belong we may be tired and tried and we may be truly alone but I will promise you this: I’ll take the long road home for true love and true freedom above all.
