I shut the curtains tight at night and turned a bit bolt slow. I built these walls around my thoughts where no one else can go. No record of me, no trace left behind, no longer the roads that I walk, or the things on my mind, no record of me. Just wine through the pine like I never took up any space, no record of mine. They say the world is watching close each step stored relay.
I found a road no one can trace a thousand towns away. No record of me. No trace left behind. No longer the roads that I walked or the things on my mind. No record of me.
Just wine through the pine. Space, no record of mine. I'm trying to do more good than harm in this little patch of world I to leave the ground a little armor, then I found it and slip off alone. No record of me, no trace left behind, no longer the roads that I walked, or the things on my mind, no record of me. Just went through the pine, like I never took up any space, no record of mine.
