All Roads Lead to Rome
You know I haven't heard my own thoughts since 2013
And these days being still is more a threat than a luxury
I asked my mother how to live, she told me grow some teeth
And I'm trying, mom but most days I can't remember to breathe
And I thought I could choose my way today
But I didn't pave the roads, the tracks have been laid
I thought I could choose my way someday
But all roads lead to Rome, so they say
I thought that at least I could be a giant ball of meat
But bees won't buzz me and they're too hungry to eat
Spiders crawl inside my bones and live inside my eyes
And the magic's wearing off but I'm too far gone now to cry
Sealed inside an airtight cage that doesn't even lock
The children underground, they learn to cry before they walk
Glass houses underestimate the power of a rock
So tomorrow hand in hand away from Omelas, we'll walk
And I think we'll find our way someday
We'll unpave the roads and have our say
I think we'll find our way today
'Cause our roads lead back home 'round the long way
You know I haven't heard my own thoughts since 2013
And these days being still is more a threat than a luxury
I asked my mother how to live, she told me grow some teeth
And I'm trying, mom but most days I can't remember to breathe
And these days being still is more a threat than a luxury
I asked my mother how to live, she told me grow some teeth
And I'm trying, mom but most days I can't remember to breathe
And I thought I could choose my way today
But I didn't pave the roads, the tracks have been laid
I thought I could choose my way someday
But all roads lead to Rome, so they say
I thought that at least I could be a giant ball of meat
But bees won't buzz me and they're too hungry to eat
Spiders crawl inside my bones and live inside my eyes
And the magic's wearing off but I'm too far gone now to cry
Sealed inside an airtight cage that doesn't even lock
The children underground, they learn to cry before they walk
Glass houses underestimate the power of a rock
So tomorrow hand in hand away from Omelas, we'll walk
And I think we'll find our way someday
We'll unpave the roads and have our say
I think we'll find our way today
'Cause our roads lead back home 'round the long way
You know I haven't heard my own thoughts since 2013
And these days being still is more a threat than a luxury
I asked my mother how to live, she told me grow some teeth
And I'm trying, mom but most days I can't remember to breathe
