Under your wheels, the hope of spring   Mirage of loss, a few more things   You left your sorrow dangling   It hangs in air like a school cheer      Complex notes inside the chords   On every wall inflections carved   Deep as lakes and dark as stars   Remember we were the volunteers      Courts knew this and nothing more   Now it's my rights versus yours      Under your wheels, your hopeless reign   You fall too hard, we're up too late   We hang suspended from the heights   Until it's safer to walk here      Under your wheels, your chance is with   The easy call, the called-off search   The medicine, it still won't work   But there's dangerous levels of it here      Same thing as the other time   But now it's your rights versus mine      The truth in one free afternoon   The truth in one free afternoon      Under my wheels the chance is held   Gave me to save me from myself   Spectacles painted with my shaking hand      Fingers in paints, in paints we brought   Thinking we'd leave them when we're not   Flying the flags of new empires in rags   The new empire in rags      The truth in one free afternoon   A new empire in rags   The truth in one free afternoon   A new empire in rags      The truth in one free afternoon   A new empire in rags   The truth in one free afternoon      Under your wheels, the fits and starts   The time to dabble in the arts   To tease the packs of dogs in charge   But kid, it's always still me      Under your wheels, the hope of spring   Mirage of loss, a few more things   The medicine it still won't sing   But there's dangerous levels of it here      Your rights over my rights now   We came to the right place   Your rights over my rights now      Your rights over my rights now   We came to the right place   Your rights over my rights now   Your rights over my rights now
