Palm Reader

I bought flowers from a drifter Cut my hand on a thorn Straight across the fate line I'm no palm reader but I doubt that's the sign I was looking for A rainy night in California Told me you fought in the war And I'm so desperate to do the right thing I'm not sure what that even is any more He found a bus stop to weather the storm I'm gonna stand up straight I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out, unafraid Mom, I want you to know I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home Faded light from the projector It's spitting summer out on the screen That pool we swam in caved in years ago We filled it up with furniture and concrete I saw right and wrong then The lines were simple and clean And now the people I was taught would be heroes We're acting like cowards, killers, and thieves I'm losing track of who the good guys are supposed to be I'm gonna stand up straight I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out, unafraid Dad, I want you to know I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home Coming undone at the seams Stretched back shirts and muted dreams Oh please Undone at the seams Stretched back shirts and muted dreams Oh please Undone at the seams Stretched back shirts and muted dreams Oh I'm gonna stand up straight I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out, unafraid Mom, I want you to know I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home Stand up straight I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out, unafraid Dad, I want you to know I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home
