Widow's Peak Lyrics

The Senators were in a tight race

They had their own box where they watched the plays

But something's not right, can you feel it?

It's electrical in the night like man made light

The clouds are thick but the rain is clear

I've been laying down for a half a year

Haven't shed a pound or a single tear

But I've been running through it in my mind, it takes some time

Son, there are breakers here who will break your heart

Uncanny architecture will do its part to

Reduce you to embers and shiver your timbers

Trade your silver for lead, I'm going back to bed

Some people stitch their words when they sew to speak

Only a few more miles to the Widow's Peak but

I'll get out right here and stop being selfish

And take in the crazy show from my window

And America

Where have you gone?

Where have you gone?

The dead see auto scroll gets me in a way

All my predictions end in a twist of fate

You have a pocket knife and you know how to use it

Then you clear the board with your arm and undeniable charm

I log the years of my life by the tree at work

I've watched it give and take with a smile and a smirk

And when it's not depressing, the sun is shining

The leaves return as if nothing is ever learned

Now I retrace my steps that brought me here

And I look askance at the coming year

Once when I was a young man, I stared at the night sky

And counted every star, didn't get that far

If I was manager, we'd get paid time off

To reflect on love and to nurse this cough but

The grinder keeps grinding, filling the casing

And everyone shares the link, it makes you think

America

Where have you gone?

Where have you gone?
