(x32013) (320013) (x32013) Intro/Verse

I think these walls have a message or have changed

 Which it is I can't decide.

So I leave with the writer that remains

 And let him tell me what his better days were like.

And I sit with the memory of kings

With only words to criticize

As if I finally found the antidote for pain

Without knowing what that's really like.

And our actor ends his love song

 And all these lovers sit and stare.

If I don't find peace in the valle

 It's cause there wasn't any there.

I will move somewhere the ocean's never seen.

Somewhere weeds just make their place

Where my best friend's exist only on screen

Where my love all fits and frays

But I want fire tumbling out into the night

I want you to know why you hold me close

Pull the quarter from my ear, or say you tried

I need magic or the holy ghost.

And as I drive on through these canyons

I'm still feeling like a crook

If I don't find peace in the valley

I've got no place else to look.
