Jawbox - Ballast lyrics

blood marks the road where the animal left its life behind, in a red stain that the rain will wash away. fall of night foretold, sky colors like a bruise, and i think of ones i used to know and of paths they had to choose. for we are born and we remain forever trapped inside our heads. no human chords are struck without a resonance in other lives, but the echoes we hold onto seem as arbitrary as the times. for we are born and will remain.
