The Modern Western World - Vansire

From turnpikes to highways

And gravel into dust

From soybeans to silhouettes advancing in the dusk

Sky above I fell in love while I was sitting still

The rate at which the Rust Belt fades to Appalachian hills, oh

Drive south as history unfolds

The awe-inspiring death-defying metamodern world

Take my word I think we’ll be alright

Lost myself along the way but had the greatest time

I’ll pass you somewhere in the night

A stranger out in Utah gestures towards the muddy car

He said hey are you nomads, did you come from somewhere far

I said I don’t know man but it feels that way today

This highway is the last breath of an empire in decay

Drive south as history unfolds

The all-providing, soon expiring modern western world

Take my word I think we’ll be alright

Lost myself along the way but had the greatest time

I’ll pass you somewhere in the night
