With my perceptions in a mix, down 20 miles through the sticks 
To the clouded town of Hellview, population 96 
Excessive vacancy, well maybe in the shadow of an eye 
All the strangers pass right through it where the rules just don’t apply

Verse Riff 6x with lyrics 

At the fork turn left - a store, but on the right, stay free from sight 
’Cause 96 quite bitter beings like to stack the bodies high 
The only way to ever leave is overflooded by the storm  
And entanglement in Hellview brings you fear in 50 forms 
They’ve deleted all the tourists at the bottom of the lake 
And not one supports the cause to leave the blood stay in the veins 

Bridge 1 8x (6x then quick pause then 2x) 
In 3/4 time

Here three miles back is where we are 
All we ever wanted was an answer 
The civilized are close yet way too far 
All we ever wanted was an answer 

Bridge 1 8x 

Bridge 2 2x with lyrics 

Footprints giving clue to where we are 
All we ever wanted was answer 
The civilized are close yet way too far 
All we ever wanted
