lyrics

Forces are gathering
But we're not at war yet
Dinner's almost ready
The table is set
Take a plate and fill your glass
Tell us what you know
We live another day
With no place else to go

Every generation
Is kinder than the last
You can be who you are
Answer honest when you're asked
But sometimes power
Makes monsters out of those
Who's time is running out
When they've got no place else to go

In the ice and the dust
And unimaginable distance
In the lifetimes it takes
To figure out our own existence
We fight to keep fighting
To save the thing we know
To be here in the morning
With no place else to go

Pictures frames and postcards
In the rubble of our walls
The hits keep coming
But the city doesn't fall
Snow melts like the tears
For everyone we know
Gone before the springtime
With someplace else to go

The Great Unlanding

Casey Cottrell is an old friend and fellow traveler on the "why am I making a record after all this time?" train. God, that guy can write. Chris Canipe
