Cut the Ties

Some nights I just can't take it
Wanna burn through my small savings
Stuff into a hatchback and just drive
Not like I have some direction
Or some nebulous protection
I am light years from perfection and at this point

Cus loneliness it suits the open road just like a hand me down coat
The movie still ain't old after all this time
I'm hanging on by one minuscule thread and it's getting loose
And I got not that much to lose
So cut the damn ties

Speeding down I 84 east
Paid a grand to break my lease
To drive eight hours play a couple songs for a couple bucks
Chase elusive satisfaction
Getting high on fake compassion
Stare at muted shades of gray til they're beautiful

Cus loneliness it suits the open road just like a hand me down coat
The movie still ain't old after all this time
I'm hanging on by one minuscule thread and it's getting loose
And I got not that much to lose
So cut the damn ties

Cut the ties
Tell a couple white lies
To feel the sun upon your skin of a foreign sky
Cut the ties
For once in your life
It's okay to tear it down and redesign

Cus loneliness it suits the open road just like a hand me down coat
The movie might get old but we still got time
I'm hanging on by one minuscule thread and it just came loose
And I got not that much to lose
So cut the damn ties
I got nothing to lose so cut the damn ties
