Cold Bones

about

Silver lines, the railroad. The railroad runs through my home town of Waukegan. I always dreamed of just hopping on a freight train and seeing where I ended up. I never had the guts to do that. I've never had the guts to leave. I hate myself for that. But, I still have to find some kind of love to keep going. The wanderlust has been a strong drive in me, but I've only imagined it. I shiver and want to go home. I forgive everything when faced with a friendly smile. Hotels not out-of-town were my refuge. I felt a lot of resentment for the circumstances of my upbringing. I always wanted to get away. I never actually went away. I was afraid of being alone... even though I was alone.

lyrics

Silver lines, I've been tracing
On a track left behind
Hidden trials, I've been facing
A bitter eye, going blind

Faking smiles to catch a break
Gideon's bible and time wasted

I was a child, I took the meaning
A simple hook to snare my mind
All I find, I try to fight it
I thought the voice was speaking me

Pulling stakes to close that window
A fireside with empty chairs

Cold on my way home
Cold deep in these bones
What I would give to see a smile

Talking back at tattered tomes
A tired revival comes undone

Cold on my way home
Cold deep in these bones
What I would give to see a smile
