lyrics

It's been a long year fighting for control of the fickle earth
it's been a long year stitching up bones into your skirts
it's been a long year staring through the dark at a screen
at villains spilling blood all over the t.v.
it's been long year so much has fallen asleep in the dirt
It's been a long year swallowing the pills of your promises
in the promised land digging up wells till your veins collapse
if you need me I'll be sleeping in the shadow of tree
punching at the sky with my hands
it's been a long year wondering if we're gonna make plans again

this is the morning when the edifices fell
this is the morning when the country ate itself
I followed you out in the air
like the world was starting new again somewhere
I went to see the sea make its violent retreat
to catch the crashing sun casting violet through the trees
oh the sun burned the heart out of us all
so we shot it down and stumbled into fall
and we were all on our own

It's been a long year fighting for control of the fickle earth
it's been a long year stitching up bones into your skirts
it's been a long year staring through the dark at a screen
at villains spilling blood all over the t.v.
it's been long year so much has fallen asleep in the dirt
It's been a long year swallowing the pills of your promises
in the promised land digging up wells till your veins collapse
if you need me I'll be sleeping in the shadow of tree
punching at the sky with my hands
it's been a long year wondering if we're gonna make plans again

"The Travel Guide, in a few words, is the center of the crossroads where potential and execution meet. Being a band that has found their primary sound at an early point in their career, they have a certain edge and breath of maturity that’s necessary when attempting to climb the musician’s ladder." ... more
