Rhythm Graveyard

There were no cameras brought for pictures
To hold all the small details
We left them all behind
We left them all behind
There was a place for and there was a time for
We arrive and leave again
There is no point in a keepsake
When you run from collections
I know one day there will be a book
Or a song line to remind me how much it meant
To be hungy, Exhausted, and alone
Destination is a point, destination is a purpose
Desperation is a reason to live
And this makes a heart beat
This could be any day of any year
This could be any stage
This could be any city
All that matters is we are moving on
The roadside graveyards pass and we escape repeating
The construction of a nation
Building up and the destruction of a nation
Tearing down to build again
Trailing taillights like the ghosts of
The last to escape those past en route to arrival
We are never going home

I wanna tell you a story
Ain't got no characters in it but me
I wanna sing you a sad song
Most of it I don't expect you to believe
It starts off just the Whiskey and Wine
And some miles of travel and some real good times
But it ends in a dark corridor
Where there ain't no windows
And there ain't no doors
Well that's me
Just a'drinkin' off this bottle
And a'driftin' out to sea
Well that's me
Just a'sittin here starin'
And a'shakin' like a leaf
Well that's me
Just a'leanin' on my shovel
In this graveyard of dreams
Yeah that's me
Just a'leanin' on my shovel
In this graveyard of dreams
I wanna take you to a shipwreck
A thousand miles underneath the black sea
It looks like everybody's sleeping
But look close they are dead indeed
I wanna lead you to an armchair
Deep black in the files of my mind
I wanna sit you in a candle's light
Where I've been spendin' all of my time
Well that's me
Just a'drinkin' off this bottle
Is it drinkin' off of me
Now that's me
Just a'sittin' here starin'
And a'shakin' like a leaf
Well that's me
Just a'leanin' on my shovel
In this graveyard of dreams
Yeah that's me
Just a'leanin' on my shovel
In this graveyard of dreams
