lyrics

the road it calls me
its screams are like lullabies
singing softly
in daydreams behind my eyes
as restless teathered
im tied to rocks that stable
strand me

as I wait for time
to come to go
and I hope for luck
out on the road

cause houses objects possessions
just keep me down
and all the markets
dont sell the things that keep me unbound
when all I want is
freedom and mobility

oh the world is made
to make us work
divide our labor
divide our worth

oh is real freedom the price of poverty
and liberations from commodities
when youre a lone wolf wandering for simplicity
in a world thats made to foster greed

and love its called me
past race and sex and classist lines
but love still leaves me
as I move forward
or get left behind
cause life is made of paths
that cross tangle intertwine
then seperate and diverse
as roads are paved with
whimsy’s urge

as the road it calls with sirens strains
and all the rocks are paradoxes strange
they tempt me, break me, sustain my days
ground me in motion and guide my ways
