Monsters

Driving down this diamondback highway
Brake-lights scream neon red
Don't know where I'm headed
Somewhere 'round the bend
The clock laughs, can see it on its face
The road it does the same
Wondering where civilization ends
A town without a name

The air of fire, soot, and ash
As we drive along for miles
The ruins of a people's past
As we drive on by the piles
A melody of static
With each dial that I move
A song that I remembered once
From the din cuts through

There by the side of the road
Hungry beasts feed on dark nights of the soul
Bloodshot eyes, sunk-in; no moral code
This is as far as I will go

It came to me in flashes
Like some long-forgotten dream
"She's looking for you", I heard a voice say
Then, a pause... I could not explain
I hadn't even driven down there
When I received the call
"The world is going crazy... be ready to leave it all"

There by the side of the road
Hungry beasts feed on dark nights of the soul
Bloodshot eyes, sunk-in; no moral code
This is as far as I will go
