Lyrics
Askew Road
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Askew Road, with charm of napalm
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt
You make your beds boys, and clear your heads boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed
Askew Road, with cigarette burns
A second home, with love for you all
Askew Road, with bullet proof vows
Always facing hostility and doubt
You make your beds boys, and clear your heads boys
Leave your life behind, reclaim it when you can
Like a deep loss, already restored
Humane and deeply flawed
"Most bands have no respect for us at all, which is fine because we didn't form a band to get respect from other musicians, You know / That was never an important criteria to us / it's just tragic i think"
Askew Road, a place in my heart
Forever hoping we'll all make our way back
