Soon Be To Nothing

Words and Music: Emily Saliers

Kelly Mountain Road saw a heavy load

With a sagging heart and a break apart

Voices in me stood as thick as thieves

With no sympathy for the beggar's art

I have passed these pines bout a million times

Effortlessly

Now I grip the wheel fear is what I feel

At the slow unraveling of me

(Chorus):

You tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time

By God don't you think I know it's in my mind

It's right over left healing the then

I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when

Well the way I flee on my crooked feet

Barn happy horse on a one-track course

The I self-despise cryin' out my eyes

Cause the happy trail led me to remorse

But the road is long and my song is gone

I blow empty in my cicada shell

If I saw my choice I might find my voice

But I don't know when and I just can't tell

(Chorus)

Deep behind my face is a safer place

But old gears are hitched tight to the gate

It's a daily grind waiting to unwind

Till I hear that click that unlocks my fate

(Chorus)
