about
Wheel, The National Guard's second release, is about giving up following in the footsteps left by others, taking back control, and paving a new way.
lyrics
I've abandoned trying to be
What you want of me
We don't fly anymore
Driven on the west-end bank of karma
I found my debt in the war
There's a wind so bleak
That we're all driven on
And It's cold
An obscenity and echo
That’s taken hold
It's a wheel I've been spinning around
It's in the grooves that I've worn
And the road laid on the ground
The pattern paved and left here for me
I've been using way to much
And I don't want to drive it anymore
I've abandoned living up to
What I see of you
I'm not made out of steel
Driven on the current of your vision
I found my debt at the wheel
There's a wind so bleak
That we’re all driven on
And It's cold
An obscenity and echo
That’s taken hold
It's the wheel I've been spinning around
It's in the grooves that I've worn
And the road laid on the ground
The pattern paved and left here for me
I've been using way to much
And I don't want to drive it anymore
