Logan and Kevin each nail the best impressions of themselves I've ever seen. Every guitar solo, lyrical line, and drum fill has personality!
small-town stars
that burn so bright and blue
when the autumn ruled the night
we were so alive
like in 1992
but in this moment I
can't bring myself to watch
it all pass by
electric scars
string up your mouth and sing
into an empty void
that never echoes back
it leaves you down and paranoid
swim past where you can touch
and I'll join you at your side
we'll tread for exercise
isn't it so funny that the ones we love leave pieces?
little bits of bone and nail and teeth
in the ruins of our mind
that we excavate in time
and anchor to the earth the crimes we left behind
so what I'm gonna do is
take these former dreams and hopes and loves
that cling to me
strap them to a raft and cast them off for
a burial at sea
sew 'em up in sailcloth and salute
'cause where we're going, we don't need no roads
and we don't need a place to hide.
by sunrise
the raft will wash ashore
strewn out across the beach
regret will come for you
like a mob at your front door
but in this moment now
we can turn to see the sun
maybe learn to have some fun
today I dug the bodies up
of old hopes and dreams
I sank their memories
to the depths of the sea
looked toward the sun
gathered the sand in my toes
and roamed the beach
'cause where we're going
we don't need the roads
