Guante & Big Cats - The Damp Foggy Midnight lyrics

I met a horse in the Midwest Black as the midnight, fast as the sunset She was the one breath left in the lungs of the country We rode on every road was a drumbeat So I'd nod my head as if I agreed leaving was common sense And every city would burn, the smoke'd creep higher But we ride smoke and I can breath fire No regrets no apologies And no symptoms of what I carried along with me In the damp foggy midnight One horseman courses, doing the work of four (story of my life) No spite this is righteous, after a fashion This is justice, after a fashion This is America, this is madness This is what happens, when you dig your fingertips Into a face and expect it to smile What happens when the proof is piling up But you're addicted to your own denial This is what happens to a heartland When every artery is clogged with refugees When the runaway slaves run straight to the armory Find the weapons and set them free This is what happens Call it an equal and opposite reaction, ashes to ashes My heroes are burning and getting stuck in my eyelashes So I rock sungla**es through the nuclear winter She always appreciated fashion And this isn't an excuse or a justification sh**, this is just what happens… So many of us are so close All we need is one more push So many of us are so close So many, so all alone So many of us are so close All we need is one more push So many of us are so close And I ain't talkin' ‘bout home So many of us are so close All we need is one more push So many of us are so close So many, so all alone So many of us are so close All we need is one more push So many of us are so close Watch how we explode I met a woman in a nightmare I couldn't wake up but she did I couldn't figure out whose dream it was So I pinched myself to pieces And peace is meaningless in the absence Of justice so we willingly ride to war And all I want is to say I'm sorry But I'm not Where do you go when you've run out of road And the road is the only home you've ever known? It's like I'm trapped in amber She gives me a smile instead of an answer And I take it
