about

From Forrest Jameson's solo album "Highway of the Lost and Found".

lyrics

DJ D:
Dust swells up as I ride the brakes
I see two growing lights coming at me from the right
As the grit settles down
it's my boy FoJay
One step at a time
on his own weary way
Couldn't be a better time
nor a more perfect place
an extra set of hands
in this dirt and shovel race
Unsure where to go
No way to say no
A coin in my pocket pays Charon my toll

Forrest:
Black laid out like a blanket in the night
No better concealment for this grim plight
The grave always tells the tale better than the act
The stars and the beyond are no different
when you're lying on your back
In a bodybag, cursed with regrets you can't let go of
Time passing through the timeline
No way to make it slow
Down to the last rope
Unsure where to go
No way to say no
So...

Chorus:
Two paths converge as the journey unfolds
Spade to the ground, another grave grows cold
Never deep enough to hide it from the light
Never far enough to keep it out of sight

Two paths converge as the journey unfolds
Spade to the ground, another grave grows cold
Never far enough to hide it from the mind
Just deep enough to hide it from blind

Forrest:
Death is creeping up behind me patiently
I urgently tend to the grave so that my thoughts don't bury me
in guilt, I sail a ship on crimson seas of blood spilt
With no sign of land, only the shovel in my hand
I gotta finish the job, no matter what the cost
Put the past behind me, make up for time
lost and found
The resting place isn't safer on high ground
In this town of grim reapers, Deep Sleepers unbound

DJ D:
To roam, direction unknown
Travel along
I feel a cloak and a scythe so I travel not alone
A dusty wave crashes in a sea of sand
Its tidal flows are controlled by the steel in my hand
My shadow seems darker than it did yesterday,
its back weighed down by the debts to be paid
Imprints of its steps fall faster then mine
on fate's guided lines, take the one less traveled by
When...

Chorus:
Two paths converge as the journey unfolds
Spade to the ground, another grave grows cold
Never deep enough to hide it from the light
Never far enough to keep it out of sight

Two paths converge as the journey unfolds
Spade to the ground, another grave grows cold
Never far enough to hide it from the mind
Just deep enough to hide it from blind

DJ D:
Red mist seeps through
a stretch of zippered cloth
It's since been too long,
too long to put it off
The eyes don't even open
when my fate cries wolf
It's like a shallow whisper
in a crowd of thoughts lost
A beacon to the times,
a reason for the ryhmes
It's the cloud upon my mind
I simply made forever mine
by the actions ill or kind
made unable to rewind
Death's blade, glint of light
and that was my only sign

Forrest:
Memories burn red, cross the container
The dirty schemes, the prayers are rising like steam
to cover dead dreams
Not flattering.
I'm flattening fiends
Supposedly wicked doppelgängers of me
I turn to see the city lights of the freaks
as they pursue the tracks of my feet,
dance in the shadows mischievously
Dust rolling like the ocean as they walk in their sleep
Drive the tombstone in the dirt, oblivious the journey's worth
As...

Chorus:
Two paths diverge as the journey unfolds
Spade to the ground, another grave grows cold
Never deep enough to hide it from the light
Never far enough to keep it out of sight

Two paths diverge as the journey unfolds
Spade to the ground, another grave grows cold
Never far enough to hide it from the mind
Just deep enough to hide it from blind

See/Hear them walking in their sleep and they're following after me
Never far enough to hide it from the mind
Just deep enough to hide it from blind
