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
