Driving down 202
Four drowned towns I never knew
The history here is long forgotten
A man approaches and ask where I'm going
The man's name he will not say
But he points to the
water eyes and vacant
He gets in the car
To get out of the rain
Softly he speaks
"To Prescott please"
Well that town ain't been around
Since 1938
But I drive down to the road
That dives down in the lake
"This path don't go further" is what I say
He nods his head slowly and then walks away
Now i'll be fooled, but pretty sure I seen a ghost
Well I don't believe in souls,
but I heard about this ya know
A man stood boldly and refused to leave his home
But the state came to flood
and said "He too must go"
and said "He too must go"

it hurts being in love
when love isn't real
god dammit
why do I even try
and it sucks being afraid
of the future I paved
when these roads
aren't even lined
I know what you think
I'm stuck and I stink
I'm just complaining for
the attention
its probably true
but whats a man to do
I am just a boy half the time
it hurts being down
and not getting up
when you have
no excuses why
and it sucks feeling alone
when you have been shown
that's probably the biggest lie
I know what you think
I'm stuck and I stink
I'm just pretending
that its all bad
its probably true
but truth can be moved
so get off your ass this time
it hurts being in love
when love is so real
god dammit
that's a reason to try
and I guess I'm not afraid
of the future I've made
cause these roads
have no end in sight
i know what you think
I'm stuck and I stink
I'm just complaining for the attention
its probably true
but here's some words to muse
fuck you

Seems to me you don't know
what you're talkin about
but its alright man
we all have our doubts
trip and stumble
over every word you say
I do the same
so I can't say anything
and I don't know
where to go
and I'm so sick
of feeling like a ghost
Maybe all this time
you meant so well
but how come your intentions
didn't follow your tales
we're all hypocrites
that I know is true
And you're the biggest one
And I'm a bigger one than you
You can't seem
to realize you can
be anything
but I can't be
so will you please
pretend that I'm just something
and I don't know
where to go
and I'm so sick
of feeling like a ghost

All across the USA
its been quite a day
for you and I not to judge
and its been quite a day
for you and I to say
that we are not ones to judge
but the answer my friend
isn't coming till the end
All across the USA
feelin everybody say
that we are not ones to judge
though its been quite a day
for you and I to say
that we are not ones to judge
but the answer my friend
doesn't come till the end
All across the USA
its been quite a day
for you and I not to judge
and its been quite a day
for everyone to say
that we are not ones to judge
and the answer my friend
doesn't come till the end
the end

Well I think I'm going insane but it's probably not true
cause if I was going insane I'd probably murder you
it's just that I get a little overwhelmed with making decisions
I guess that's what I get for deflecting my provisions
In between waking up and falling asleep
I just pretend my whole life is one big fucking dream
where nothing out of the ordinary every happens
except for that one time
that my heart exploded
