Lyrics


Road to Clarity
[Intro:] Rollin' down the highway in her ol' baby blue, Seats are torn, and the windshield's cracked too. Quiet in the cab, just the hum of the road, A mother and daughter, with their thoughts all stowed.
[Verse 1] Turned on the radio, to break the morn's hush, Speakers crackled with a confident rush. "Climate's ain't real," the smooth talker said, "Economy's perfect," from the same suit-tied head.
[Verse 2] Then a tire burst, blue Chevy took flight, Spun off the highway, in the blinding light. Crash and a tumble, everything dark, Woke up in tight sheets, the past a blur.
[Chorus] In that hospital bed, with the TV on low, She heard the lies clear, in every news show. Truths became clear as they struck the same blows. Through the pain and the meds, She saw through the tales, that messed with their heads, mess with all of our heads.
[Bridge] Her daughter walked in and picked up her hand. There smiles were mirrored, the hourglass stopped it's dropping of sand. "How's the weather?" turned to lifting the veils. They turned off the set, let silence speak loud, Found the ground firm beneath their feet.
[Verse 3] Later that eve as they sat by the tube, "Can you hear what he said, just now, Oh, Oh my gosh! He said so alarmed "THIS JUST IN! A cat in a tree, the worlds gonna end!"
Wise she is now to the pain that it brings. She can hear the gaslighting, bandwagon effect, and all of that, all of that fear mongering lies from before.
[Outro] With open-eyed wonder, they said, "I'm pledging to you, you help me stay clear and,
I'll
help
you."
Well, the Miles roll, under country blue skies, A mom and her daughter, who can
hear (WHO CAN HEAR) who can hear, hear all of their lies.
