Neko Case - Guided By Wire lyrics

Voices that did comfort me Are furthest from my sanity And come from places I have never seen Even in my darkest recollection There was singin' my life back to me The life you learn from someone else That you can only trust yourself Sometimes that is still too much to want Gravity won't get you through the mazes You can never travel by the way you've come I could never choose the ones to love And the ones who took the credit left me reelin' But I owe much to the nameless and all those surrogates Those who're singin' my life back to me Life is not a constant thing It's only made of short stories I couldn't even tell you where I'm from Guided by the voices I've deflected Guided by electric wires' hum I could never choose the ones to love And the ones who took the credit left me reelin' But I owe much to the nameless Those who're singin' my life back to me I see you in the future, skippin' time While the eyes of all the faithful rest in peace Yet tonight I see the highway And someone singin' my life back to me
