1000 Graves - Ruston Kelly

You could run a thousand roads

And never end up nowhere

Pierce through your hands a thousand holes

And never know the cross you bear

Maybe I was born inside a shadow

I’m always starving for the light

The only roads I seem to follow

Are the ones leading to the night

You can dig a thousand graves

You’re never gonna bury that ghost

Floats up from the ground and a caution that hangs

Hangs in your hair like a Jesus stone

Crashing down too far from heaven

Fell too short of a million things

Try to put the pieces back together

It’s what I get for flying on broken wings

Sick of dying in these nights

I wanna feel alive in the world

Wanna straighten out all my crooked lines

And then I’m gonna marry that girl

Because I believe that love can save you

When it comes in quiet and rises slow

Takes the depths out of the darkness

So you don’t have to fall that far alone

So you don’t have to face it on your own
