So I left my basement to the sound of the leaves And a distant roar Of a thousand cars putting cracks in the street On the city's floor Then stomp my ignorance to an orchestra of life And bury with the tuneless noise that just fills up my insides So I followed the street lines, they led back to some place I can barely call home On a sorrowed retreat, wishing you might have stayed To prolong my false hope And I would miss my home if I knew where it was But there's a knowing now and it's not enough And it can never be enough (It keeps happening) So I knot the rope then cut it loose I establish it ties to a lack of proof Oh I knew it'd be dark down this road Then walk a path I can't turn back And let it ring through the pitch black Through everything
