lyrics

Where am I going
Where have I been
Ain't seen your face here since I don't know when
Same conversations
No news to send
Friends came and left
Now they're gone with the wind
I'm waving hello
Or watching them go
Shining as they move in their arcs
Am I going in or coming out of the dark

No voices calling
Or pulling me back
Road with the train to the end of the track
But station to station
It all looks the same
Gray as a headstone
And cold as the grave
The flame's getting low
I'm watching this glow
Dying or just losing its spark
Am I going in or coming out of the dark

The weather here falls
The same as it all does
The tide pulls me under
I'm cold and bereft
Just the same as it was where I left

I can't see at all
If you love me then call
And tell me 'cause I'm losing the mark
Am I going in or coming out of the dark

M. the Heir Apparent recommends:

if i shout that the revolutions in my blind heart have left me on the mend, would i still have to surrender to the tides to exorcise this possession?
by Field Medic

In a world of cookie-cutter songwriters, Field Medic is the real deal. I want to be just like him when I grow up. Favorite track on this album: "Flash Tattoos" M. the Heir Apparent
