Piece based on song sketch by Jay Baker
lyrics
Could've been a maid, could've been a shepherd, gonna cast bones to see who I am yeah
I got no home
I've got no madness
I've got no steel strong enough to hold me.
Now you're on the road, far out past the wide open prairie banging on the dash
...
Bold, and right into the soul
That's how I like my beats to go
Drive into the ground before that shit begins to fold
In on itself as it revives to die
Create the conduction between the smoking wires
Taking you down
Until you forget that the melodies drown
Into the sound
That makes you remember the shit that you found
Under the water where it's going down
Beneath all the sorrow of broken minds and streets
Between all the powerful fallen policies
Above the horizon of sour hopes and dreams
Create all the stitches that help us sew the seams
Taking it up
Until you forget that the melody's fucked
Into the above
And make you remember the shit that you love
Into the fire where it's set and done
...
Could've been a maid, could've been a shepherd, gonna cast bones to see who I am yeah
I got no home
I've got no madness
I've got no steel strong enough to hold me.
Now you're on the road, far out past the wide open prairie banging on the dash
...
Don't you belong
Don't you lost
...
Faint, just a tiny stain
On the edge of anarchy
But creates just enough energy to find a way
Into my mind as I begin to seek
All of the lies that tell me what to be
And I can't define the little tragedies
That make you believe the shit you want to see
Fall to the floor
Kick all the melodies out of the door
Fall to the ground and give up to the sound
As you fall to your knees begging
Please I can't take any more
...
Don't take your mind from us
Be peace wrapped in barbed wire
Don't be that far from us
Be far just choke on words
...
Could've been a maid, could've been a shepherd, gonna cast bones to see who I am yeah
I got no home
I've got no madness
I've got no steel strong enough to hold me.
Now you're on the road, far out past the wide open prairie banging on the dash
