Montana In Ashes Lyrics

And here is the part where you drive through Idaho alone

Gotta get back to Montana before the snow falls

And I thought my hometown would feel warmer now

Like it is when I am fucked up, remembering

And I thought my old friends would be sober now

Like the ones in my childhood memories

Girl with the the modest mouse tattoo

No longer working at the coffee house

I'll drink a 40 by the riverside

Like we'd do when we were 15

I wonder where she is now

Where is anyone now

And how many drowned in this town

How many still in their parents house

With their parents still around

Or maybe not around

Like last year put my dad in the ground

Thought there were faces that I'd wanna see

But their loneliness unsettles me deeply

And when I look across these vast plains

Covered in snow

Up to the mountains with no names

I feel I am connected to here

I bled right into that ground there

The ashes of a fire

I set on a night just like this one

And the sky is indifferent, and the stars are identical

To those I'd look up to when I had no past yet

But man I had plans

To get out of here fast 'cause

I was sad as a kid

I think I've always been sad

Growing up where

The sky above's endless

And the roads all go nowhere

Surrounded by grayness

And photos of lost years

And I would light my old house on fire

If it would burn down down the bad times

When I cannot be alone without

Alcohol turning my blood into

Rip tides where I drown whatever it I was

Before I came down from the plains 'til I

Stop seeing whiskey-soaked snow days and nights

Reflected in every kitchen knife

My friend's folks had a barn

That we used to go and drink in

After Friday night football games

All through the autumn

And there was light

There was warmth

And we laughed 'til passed out and woke up

To the cold and bright Montana mornings

And I didn't know it then

But I think it was the happiest that I've ever been
