Lyrics Matthew Mayfield

Matthew Mayfield

Open Road

Lay me down on

shores of the whitest sand

soft like that woman

with the fight of a thousand men

and if you find the key

would you set me free?

if you find the key

would you set me free?

I’m screaming to God

‘would you come and save

what you’ve either forgot

or you’re strengthening

I’ve finally paid the toll

and it’s all open road

just trying to find a home

take me home’

Violet iris

and lilies in bloom for spring

enticing—the silence

a song that we all can sing

and if you find the key

would you set me free?

if you find the key

would you set me free?

I’m screaming to God

‘would you come and save

what you’ve either forgot

or you’re strengthening

I’ve finally paid the toll

and it’s all open road

just trying to find a home

take me home’

We’re tired and changing

heartbeats are fading

our days are numbered

the clocks, they keep ticking

I’ve been deserted,

my feelings perverted

by a pissed off and ripped off machine cycle circus

when we look in the mirror

it shatters with shame

and our faces are bloody

and sour with disdain

I have seen what you are

and I have seen who I am

and we are desperate, we’re desperate, we’re desperate

for home…

home….

lay me down on

shores of the whitest sand

soft like that woman

with the fight of a thousand men
