lyrics

Scouring the back of an old Lonely Planet,
Attempting to gather the publishing date.
Our endangered address is seemingly absent.
It’s from 10 years back, think we might be too late.

Standing beneath a Parisian cathedral,
Attempting to feel something larger than me.
But all I can speak to are its Gothic details.
I’m Lost like my heroes, oh well, c’est la vie.

I’ve always heard that the knowledge we earn
Isn’t commensurate with what we learn.
That brings me here to the present concern:
This might get the symptoms, but won’t be the cure.

Climbing the steps of a Hunanese temple,
Attempting to wrestle some clarity free.
But sticks of incense are inadequate vessels
For something ancestral but not to my tree.

Searching for opposite pastures imbued
With those reportedly vivid green hues.
But I’m only finding one thing to be true:
It’s all just a shade of the same old blues.

It’s all just a shade of the same old blues.
It’s all just a shade of the same old blues.
