We're Leaving This Town, But Why?

from Then my eyes will embrace the advance. by Jon Gaither

/

lyrics

I heard the truth and it sounded so harsh
Quitting the good stuff today
Lost inside lewd dreams and cons
But I swear I’m on my way

Stone-staring down the county line
Just like yesterday
The choice written on my eyes
Should I leave or stay?

Now I am back in the same seat I sat in days ago
Staring at the same thing again
The shine calls me in, the dark kicks me out
Anticlimactic win

Surveilling embers I left burning down
Counting the last days away
Wasted time or wasted space
Are one and another the same?

The changing air and the leaves on the ground
We’re leaving this town, but why?
I want to rebel, I want to escape
Or maybe I just need to cry

Now I am back in the same seat I sat in days ago
Staring at the same thing again
The shine calls me in, the dark kicks me out
Anticlimactic win

Remember all these things we plant and grow
Rise up before we know
So hold seeds in your hands, and when the winds blow
Rise up, let them go
