Night Letters Lyrics

This is the best song the not-john sampson guy ever wrote.

I was just going to write that, but i think i just figured it out: its a guy who leaves his country to feed his family and send money home. He "goes running for his life" and never goes home again, traveling far away, dreaming of where he used to live "where it wasnt so fucking cold(united states), but on fire with war." So basically the guy is separated from his family, trying to help them, but things are getting worse over there, "with his loved ones taunted by murderers." In the end, he tells them they still will have to wait 3 more years before he can go back for them, which i guess is a long time when all these terrible things are happening.

I think the guy might also be an illegal immigrant with "stones tossed over the fence" but i dont know if the war stuff makes sense then. Still, this is the same guy who wrote "fuck the border."

Pretty sure the song is about what MLarghi has said.
