Despondent - 14 Straights

Copied!

{Chorus}
It's 14 straights away
Just 14 straights away
It's 14 straights away
Just 14 straights away

{Verse 1}
Underneath the concrete
Underneath these painted lines
Exist the roots of everything that I've tried to deny
And I hear it calling me
Suburbia is calling me
Yeah, friend

{Chorus}
It's 14 straights away
Just 14 straights away
It's 14 straights away
Just 14 straights away

{Verse 2}
Underneath this concrete
Underneath these yellow lights
The dormant roots of every lie are waiting to uprise
And I hear it calling me
Beneath thesе broken streets
The roots of the suburban drеams
And this lie of destiny
This truth of fallacy
It's pulling at my feet
It's pulling down on me
Yeah, friend

{Chorus}
It's 14 straights away
Just 14 straights away
It's 14 straights away
Just 14 straights away
