about

A dissection of a daily commute.

lyrics

Dancing with the rabble down the same old route when the flashes lit the view
Took a little turn until I saw the truth blanketed in blue
Cradling conviction when I got no clue, as I try to look away
While you’re frozen to the pavement in the bitter truce that the earth and air have made

Who the hell are you to kill my buzz today?
When I’m running like a rodent in a wretched maze

Flowers sang the chorus by the busy road as the evening came
Few can remember why the traffic slowed, and who cares, either way?
So I bow to my ambition as I hide my grief, to keep my belly fed
I’ve taken time to cater to my every need but no time to mourn the dead

Who the hell are you to kill my buzz today?
When I’m running like a rodent in a wretched maze
Running like a rodent in a wretched maze

I’m trying to deny how much I love the race
Running like a rodent in a wretched maze

Now I’m wondering how soon until your image fades
Running like a rodent in a wretched maze
Running like a rodent in a wretched maze
