Lyrics
I've been asking ever since
Our blood was born
What did I become
What did I become a vessel for
Airlifted out of the smoke
Of a young man's pride
Overfed
Headed dead into the middle of life
Like everyone else, I try
But I haven't got the time
To sit through all of it
The national psychosis
It takes all our strength
Just to keep what we have intact
And no one says a thing
But they have to know
They have to know what it feels like
Right before you collapse
They built another overpass
So I went
To check out the view
With the boy as the lens
And I remembered I knew
Just how far this interstate led
You can take it, I said
You can take it all the way
To the end of the west
He was too young then
To get much out of this
Have I ever said a single thing
Not for my own benefit
When our hillside house
Was in sight
I saw you watching us walk
Down the long, long incline
A vessel of three
And the only essential fact
Our only course to take
Down through the rolling unfolding
Soft collapse
