Lyrics

Palm Reader

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.

I bought flowers from a drifter

Cut my hand on a thorn

Straight across the fate line

I'm no palm reader

But I doubt that's the sign that I was looking for

Rainy night in California

Told me he fought in the war

And I'm so desperate to do the right thing

I'm not sure what that even is anymore

He found a bus stop to weather the storm

I'm gonna stand up straight

I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid

Mom, I want you to know

I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home

Faded light from the projector

Spitting summer out on a screen

The pool we swam in caved in years ago

We filled it up with furniture and concrete

I saw right from wrong then

The lines were simple and clean

Now all the people I was taught would be heroes

Are acting like cowards, killers, and thieves.

I'm loosing track of who the good guys are supposed to be

I'm gonna stand up straight

I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid

Dad, I want you to know

I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home

Coming undone at the seams

Stress fractures and muted dreams

Oh, please

Undone at the seams

Stress fractures and muted dreams

Oh, please

Undone at the seams

Stress fractures and muted dreams

Oh

I'm gonna stand up straight

I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid

Mom, I want you to know

I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home

Stand up straight

I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid

Dad, I want you to know

I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home
