The Witching Hour Lyrics

Cash for your stolen gold

Promised providence fills the vacant lots

Strip malls with fake and flaking brick walls

A fool's face as ad space tells me how and what I should feel

But this shadow we all cast is immense and broad

Yet we fill this filthy world, I'm no better

I can still feel the weight of their eyes

As they dart and pass like an old memory, fixated

In convenience store soliloquys; while carrying around such a resentful rhythm

As the halogen above sends ripples and contours of light through our hair

I'll remember this one at least for a while

I rode around 'til the dawn of the next day

And picked blue from the early morning grey

I traveled through all the rolling hills and farmlands

That hollow out the middle of this state

And stopped out on a patch of grass beside the road

Before it wove too much further down

I stepped out and braved a breath of humid air

And heard the trucks drone from the highway

I followed trees that hemmed together vast fields

And suddenly I became overwhelmed

I'm stronger now than the pressures I've endured

I'm stronger now with the weight of what I've learned

I'm stronger now that what makes me insecure

And though my strength was washed up on the shore

My innocence ran out the open door

Good Lord, it left me wanting more

I really am better than I was before

I really am better off now

I really am better

I really am
