Neko Case - Guided by Wire lyrics

Voices that did comfort me
Are furthest from my sanity
And come from places I have never seen
Even in my darkest recollection
There was someone singin' my life back to me

In life you learn from someone else
That you can only trust yourself
And sometimes that is still too much to want

Morality won't get you through the mazes
(Gravity won't get you through the mazes)
You can never travel back the way you've come

I could never choose the ones to love
And the ones who took the
Credit left me reelin'
But, I owe much to the
Nameless and all the surrogates
Of those who're singin' my life back to me

Life is not a constant thing
It's only made of short stories
I couldn't even tell you where I'm from
I'm guided by the voices I've perfected
Guided by electric wires' hum

I could never choose the ones to love
And the ones who took the
Credit left me reelin'
But, I owe much to the
Nameless and all the surrogates
Of those who're singin' my life back to me

Well, I see you in the future, skippin' time
While the eyes of all the
Faithful rest in peace
Yet tonight I see the highway
Like a cheetah under foot
And someone singin' my life back to me
Someone singin' my life back to me
