[00:09.53][00:06.64][00:04.02][00:01.41] And he travelled
[00:20.30][00:17.65][00:15.03][00:12.46] And he travelled far
[01:43.10][01:37.64][01:32.12][01:27.29][00:37.57][00:32.10][00:26.65][00:21.34] I can feel the distance
[00:42.93] The streets kept coming and coming and coming? through his tracks
[00:45.77] And every scene he spied was all the same
[00:47.96] He kept running and running and running and never looked back
[00:51.35] He never realised how far he came
[00:53.66] And it didn't matter that the latter part hadn't bothered him
[00:56.28] Rather all the sadness that followed him as if it was a ball and chain
[00:59.86] It was a long await, his posture had changed fraught with his fault and his anger
[01:03.22] Until he wouldn't respond when they called his name
[01:05.08] It was all part of the game, it started as a play to get ends
[01:08.59] It left him with the breath of debt and less friends
[01:10.56] And yet he never questioned where the quest went
[01:12.59] And when dissenters didn't deem him special
[01:14.37] He did his best to impress them and this led to regrets then
[01:17.70] Still he was dead-set on success and distress
[01:19.88] He only expressed through a sent text
[01:21.54] Addressed to anyone he hadn't met yet
[01:23.41] The tires peeled on desire's wheels
[01:25.70] Again he said, "I can feel."
[01:48.74] The city had changed him as he reflected on the decade that passed
[01:52.07] His life, he reckoned at last, was a staged pun
[01:54.20] With a fantasy masked where the grave was dug
[01:56.28] A double life revamped and the other side bites till it tastes blood
[01:59.70] So he drives to escape driving a stake through his great love
[02:02.39] Incessantly trying to shine through the bars like a caged sun
[02:05.02] Dissecting a piece of the strange run
[02:07.09] With the dirty southern niggers working for crumbs
[02:09.19] In some underground dank club
[02:10.66] Where there's nothing but strained hugs from mother and father
[02:13.09] And a strange son cause he can't recall when he became one
[02:15.62] Though the shame is heavy and weighs tons
[02:17.63] He still finds a way to place blame on what they've done
[02:19.97] Visits they've stayed away from
[02:21.49] And perhaps it was that all along so he just carries on
[02:24.42] And he can barely call because the talks are rarely calm
[02:27.15] He wears his calluses like a tux to a daily prom
[02:29.89] Wearily feeling forever young until they play the song
[02:32.42] And his patient wife waits gracefully while he breaks the dawn
[02:35.29] Racing across the States to raise the stakes and cost to pay it off
[02:38.07] Debating cons of procreation on the hopes to trade it off
[02:40.60] A basic honest home relations, how'd they know it would take this long?
[02:43.42] But he placed his honour in the way he crawled
[02:45.69] All that means is he hits the floor harder from farther up in case he falls
[02:48.82] He's racing towards the exit so disconnected
[02:51.50] He felt compelled to misdirect his perspective
[03:15.68][03:10.30][03:04.67][02:59.36][02:53.96] I can feel the distance(I can feel)
[03:30.61][03:19.70] And the more that I stand still
[03:36.34][03:25.49] The closer I get still
[04:00.88][03:50.10] idon't wanna turn around,no.
[04:03.83][03:53.23][03:42.37] to see that I'm all alone.
[04:06.36][03:58.21][03:55.66][03:47.47][03:44.50] Just a pillar of salt and stone.
