BARS

I'll run alone
I'll run alone
For the rest of my road, babe
These bars I say were predisposed
These bars I say were made in my mind
All these things I'm yearning for
These things I'm burning for
Can't get ahold of them
Oh, these hills a monolith
These dreams I'm filled in with
Can't seem to shoulder them at once
I'm not ready for the show
I'm not ready to call this place my home
It'll put you into stitches
It'll leave a nasty scar
I'm not quite sure I'm gonna be the one to go too far
Lake Missoula, you're pushing me out
I'm not ready for the world to swallow me up
It's daunting, it's fleeting
I flee into my cover
These two fingers twined on the curve of the back, it's a pileup
It's the liar's grin as he's raising a cup
He holds temptation over my lips, it's taunting
I can almost taste it
Almost taste it
The people in my songs, they aren't real anymore
They chose to grow and do their changing
Guess I shouldn't start to blame them
Guess these people didn't read these notes I wrote them
Or what they did in the writing was just shit lost in translation
But these bars, they hold me down
They represent my mind
I still appreciate those times
Still appreciate their life
But it's hard to realize I'm not gonna be in that place anymore
