Lost in the Country

been thinking about the old days more & more the pettiness of my life & the way it was if i speak to you through a dream would you hear me? across this lonesome country across the great divide over the people trying to get by i used the venue wifi i checked my email twice as i sat & cried the singer from the other band asked if i was alright & they sat with me a while in the cool dark country & there it seemed that we were going to be linked forever in a deeper understanding of the ways we've been moving around the ways we think about ourselves in this moment in all the years gone by in all the people that we pass by in what might happen if we actually looked them in the eye & as i write this down i could feel it all now the words rush in a moment & the part of my life that's kept me hiding inside has died & the soul in my heart is always hungry & i'm lost in the deep wide country i don't hear nothing but silence now i don't hear nothing but silence now i don't hear nothing but silence now i don't hear nothing i don't hear nothing but silence now i don't hear nothing but silence now i don't hear nothing but silence now i don't hear nothing been thinking about the old days more & more the pettiness of my life & the way it was if i speak to you through a dream would you hear me? i've broken nothing but silence now i've broken nothing but silence now i've broken nothing but silence now i've broken nothing i've broken nothing but silence now & i don't hear nothing but the leaves on the ground & i'm picking up rocks i'm picking up the pieces i've broken nothing & the song goes on & on
