Letting it Ride

from Exhilaration of Exile by Memory Mines

lyrics

Exhibit A:
Are you afraid that you are going nowhere? Or are you afraid that there is nowhere to go? I didn't know that everything was fleeting, so I turned to a journey to see if I belong. I traced my steps back to the land of my fathers to a land with the strictest rule and a land with loose morals. I looked for you in the rainforest and I looked for you in the desert. I called your name on mountains. I held my breath while floating in the sea. I gathered with people on the busiest street corners and I got as far away from anywhere you could get. I saw the monuments that proclaimed glamour to the image of men and I saw moments that could only be known unto me. I have dined with the richest and I have slept with the poorest. Yet, my soul longs to escape…still. I am homesick. Always have been, and I always will be.


Exhibit B:
Straight and narrow as ever. Check monitor. Incoming truths. Take small bite. Leave rest for later. Stay hungry. White perforated lines blur to solid. Roaring engine. Hair in wind. Wind in hair. Shirt fills like parachute. Brass and brushes sing dry in my heart’s Sahara. It snowed here once. I felt you in a blink of time. Bullet on wheels through the heat rays drowns you out. My lie continues in seemingly, blissful elation.
