lyrics

Always on the hunt for something that's after my time, out of my way.
Always on my mind, I'm hunting for the words they'd never let me say.
Walking on a broken road, leaving footprints and glass.
If I knew how I'd sell my soul. I'm never going back.

Carrying a load I had never planned to keep.
Choking on what had used to set me free.

I'm driving on water.
We're starting our cars.
I've gone into darkness.
And we're swallowing stars.

Back in my home, but all the windows I used to know are shut.
Keeping my guard down without the luxury of luck.
I'm starting to remember the reason that I left.
Couldn't follow in a line with hands behind my back.

My friends are working for their paper, they are all the same.
I just don't have the time to waste on wasting away.

I'm driving on water.
We're starting our cars.
I've gone into darkness.
And we're swallowing stars.

Is there only time to break me out of this town?
Want to get on new roads before I'm in the ground.
Is there only time to break me out of this town?
Want to rip up the sky, but I feel stuck to the ground.

I'm driving on water.
We're starting our cars.
I've gone into darkness.
But we're swallowing stars.
I'm driving on water.
We're starting our cars.
I've gone into darkness.
But we're swallowing stars.
