lyrics

One thing I’ll say for the less-traveled way
It doesn’t have subtlety, but has twice the gravity
Get in and go and be one with it now
It turns inconsistently, and arcs in a symphony
Make your mind sharp and beware of the holes
But fall through them readily
And slip through them steadily
Watch your watch spiral in and out of control
It’s beyond all that anyway
And time is dead anyway
Passenger song on the dark radio
The wheel’s in your other hand
And home’s in your other mind
The lights on the screen then shut out by the door
A forest there in the frames
The eyes which are all the same

Follow the path until it falls away
I’ve heard it is dangerous
But some say it’s glamorous
Charge through the past and the future and now
And come to it sparingly
With what you are carrying
Notes on the pages and notes in the bars
Which isn’t without its scars
But might make you see the stars
Show me it’s holy then show me to bed
I’m collapsing anyway
The edges starting to fray
Right you are right you are right you are right
You left for the interstate
Because you can hardly wait
One thing I’ll say for the less-traveled way
It doesn’t have subtlety, but has twice the gravity
