lyrics

The Guiding – “Brand New Shoes” (C)2014/2015
Written by Adam Ashrafian

Everything gets more muffled the deeper that I sink
The voices shift to static telling me what I ‘ought to think
But they don’t have this aftertaste, cause not everyone
Can just make it out unscathed

The nights they get longer now that the cold is setting in
More time inside this cage left with a lion to contend
With your enemies closer than friends
What happens when that beast is all there is

Now I’m falling back to someplace that I don’t belong
Some where when I try to move it feels wrong
In sticky mud, with brand new shoes

So I’m making my way now up the road
I got no gas money and wide, wide load
I’m luggin’ this corpse to somewhere slow

‘Cause it seems like the place for me
You know it feels like the place to be
‘Cause I’ve got nothing in these tired hands

So I’m falling back to someplace that I don’t belong
Somewhere when I try to move it feels wrong
In sticky mud, with brand new shoes…
