Currents

These strings feel like daggers in this dark little house.

My fingertips cut to the bone

You’re not supposed to spend the best years you’re allowed

Waiting by the telephone.

These hot valley nights have been boiling my brains for too long

I just gotta get out. Need a change.

There are currents in a every direction

I feel them beneath my feet

Now there’s no guarantee that safe harbors await me

But anywhere’s better than here

I40’s lonely in New Mexico

My Nissan pulls on through the night

And all I can find on the radio

Is static and hellfire

Alone with my thoughts and this river still singing my name

I just gotta let go. Let it carry me.

There are currents in a every direction

I feel them beneath my feet

Now there’s no guarantee that safe harbors await me

But anywhere’s better than here

Every minute I fell less assured

Every sign post I pass some place I’ve never heard of

But I’m so far downstream in the strangest of dreams

And I’ll wake up when I reach the shore

There are currents in a every direction

I feel them beneath my feet

Now there’s no guarantee that safe harbors await me

But anywhere’s better than here

Anywhere’s better.
