lyrics

TO BLANCHE
Feels like we’re driving down the highway with one foot out the door
The present moving past us at the pace of a mystery that we adore
Jingles and hashtags fly by at the speed of the fad they’re attached to
Don’t @ me

I thought I heard you say you were ready to leave, oh no- what would I like to drink
Well water’s always wiser, but whiskey sounds better for now
Troubled by the thoughts of my own mind, oh the trying times we bring on ourselves
The harness is useless for all of the darkness between us won’t keep us from finding the other side
I hear someone calling from the bottom of the great divide

Chorus:
Everlasting light I don’t advise it, I’ve been blinded for the last time
I’ve been blinded by my self-righteousness, I thought everything was fine
I hear someone calling from the bottom of the great divide
And then I’m reminded of all of the kindness from strangers I’ve relied on over the years

Amplified opinions split democracy, restless angels linger with a winged hypocrisy
Focused on the notion that the spirit isn’t flawed, but bound by their vocation to witness and absolve
Abandoned in the heartland, a feather in the wind, a crucifix intrepid with a wistful kind of grin
Seeking less from the world to make it through the day, we’re just showering vices on these comfortable graves
Someone’s calling from the bottom of the great divide

Chorus

Fate McAfee: Guitar, vocals, bass, drums, tambo
Melanie A. Davis: Keys
