"Down The Road" lyrics

"Down The Road"

There's a road sold
Shows you not to think but just do as told
Makes them feel real
As they throw another 20 in the roulette wheel
Life spent improvising
To accommodate your saturday night
Sitting on the tower for round a half hour
But your morals are way outta sight

But when you fast forward a day or two
It's a different Kettle of fish
All your schemes that you made that night
Now seem like a desperate wish

Will you crack the code?
Or will you watch your days roll over before you?
Or will you break your border?
And go step outta your humble abode

There's been a misconception of your circumstance
You walk the walk but you don't dance the dance
There's a life up there
But you'd rather go down the road

Should you be here
Standing at the back in your expensive gear?
Pills Thrills
But you're running two months over on your iPhone bill

No time here for questions
Cause peace of mind's a frightening deal
How's it gonna look when you're thirty-five
How many of these people here are real?
Hush toned conversations
Is everybody sussing you out?
Or is it just the fact that you don't belong
That's filling your mind with doubt?

Will you crack the code
Or will you watch your days roll over before you?
Or will you break your border?
And go
Step outta your humble abode

There's been a misconception of your circumstance
You walk the walk but you don't dance the dance
There's a life up there
But you'd rather go down the road

Will you crack the code
Or will you watch your days roll over before you?
Or will you break your border?
And go
Step outta your humble abode

There's been a misconception of your circumstance
You walk the walk but you don't dance the dance
There's a life up there
But you'd rather go down the road
There's a life up there
But you'd rather go down the road
