"Uncertain Country" lyrics

"Uncertain Country"

Real or imagined, it hardens into habit
Stains on a Saturday, watch it burn away
Heart flush with heaviness, under the heavens
Hovering above, a feeling
Can't reach it

Uncertain country, shifting underneath
Couldn't see it coming, or where it's coming from
In the air, in the clouds, long gone
Beyond belief
Can't reach it

Uncertain country
Uncertain country

Rusted machinery, language, and battery
Years sitting idle, fading in front of me
Steel fingers in the earth, determining its worth
Bones on the surface, left to weather

Pulled into the future, now what are you supposed to do
Passed just as fast, the eye to pull the future through
Living in the present, in the moment
Not ahead, not behind, or below
Can't reach it

Uncertain country
Uncertain country

Heat of the lucky sun, against the endless mile
Sweat of the thought, pathways away from here
Break logic, automatic, animal
Dirt, trees, hungry teeth
Sinking in

Thinking out of bounds, and what will happen after
With the picture out of focus, blurred and clouded over
Static in the frame, and with a stutter
Not in flight, on the road, on foot
Can't reach it

Uncertain country
Uncertain country
