All Roads Lead to Rome Lyrics

You know I haven't heard my own thoughts since 2013

And these days being still is more a threat than a luxury

I asked my mother how to live, she told me grow some teeth

And I'm trying, mom but most days I can't remember to breathe

And I thought I could choose my way today

But I didn't pave the roads, the tracks have been laid

I thought I could choose my way someday

But all roads lead to Rome, so they say

I thought that at least I could be a giant ball of meat

But bees won't buzz me and they're too hungry to eat

Spiders crawl inside my bones and live inside my eyes

And the magic's wearing off but I'm too far gone now to cry

Sealed inside an airtight cage that doesn't even lock

The children underground, they learn to cry before they walk

Glass houses underestimate the power of a rock

So tomorrow hand in hand away from Omelas, we'll walk

And I think we'll find our way someday

We'll unpave the roads and have our say

I think we'll find our way today

'Cause our roads lead back home 'round the long way

You know I haven't heard my own thoughts since 2013

And these days being still is more a threat than a luxury

I asked my mother how to live, she told me grow some teeth

And I'm trying, mom but most days I can't remember to breathe
