High Road Lyrics

You let the wind take us down
You let the storm come and wipe us out
I saw the fog snuff you out
I saw the ocean come take you under

I have my boot stuck in your mouth
I have you screaming for your last breath, yeah
I shoved the moth deep inside
I still waiting for the devour

You take the high road down
I take the ground below you
You take the high road down
I take the ground below

You are the one nobody likes
You are the plague that was brought here by rats
I'd like to hunt you, that's fact
Watching you fade out and never come back

You take the high road down
I take the ground below you
You take the high road down
I take the ground below

You take the high road down
I take the ground below you
You take the high road down
I take the ground below

This song feels like its about confrontation, struggle. One of life's most constant struggle is interacting with people who are total shitheads, and trying to be the bigger person and letting stuff go isn't easy.

This is about hating someone's guts and wanting them to die, but also about trying to let things go.

  • I saw the FOG snuff you out

  • I had my BOOT stuck in your mouth

  • I shoved a MOTH deep inside

  • I'd like to hunt you, that's a FACT

@MayfieldBassist These are all legitimate corrections, and the song makes more sense with them. Especially the first verse centered around harsh weather.
