lyrics

bright traveler, swept off the longest road
unraveller, gave up the turning spoke

sweet talker, owl flies into the twilight
street walker, you’ll be buried on the upright

the will to forget, built into the hedge within the language
to hustle a thief, go follow the leaf and learn to vanish

plague bearer, you let your luck decide you
wayfarer you’ll find a way to ride through

with nothing to lose, to beg is to choose to be the danger
no home to reclaim, but welcome disdain, each way the stranger
the wandering dream, caught in the machine that still devours
the madness they made will not be repaid until the concrete flowers
