Son Volt Follow

The beliefs from the status-quo picture
Drop down like from a drip dispenser
Leaving too many paths that lead to
A one-way talk with only the darkness

Sun breaks on a buffer-zone madness
Fleeing ghosts for all the reasons
With apathetic eyes to the future
Complacent to the last broken pieces

No conspiracy to deny you or push you astray
You've withstood the streets that time walks
Treading on a hallowed gone heyday

Your grievance is wrapped in just simple surviving
Points raised, points abandoned, the big dream is hollowed
Hereafters have not been chosen, the flame will find the oxygen
Stopgap measures down just take it for another spin

Walked into a field of vision, cold hearted steps of perception
The closer to the rise is distance stood to fall
Homesick along with a hometown stay, pack it up or pack it in
The promise of days gone past is a foregone situation
