If I could act like
This was my real life,
And not some cage where I've been placed,
Well then, I could tell you
The truth like I used to
And not be afraid of sounding fake.

— Conor Oberst Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground (2002)

The spinning never stops.

we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.

Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground (2002)

Because the truth is that gossip
is as good as gospel in this town.
You can save face but
you won't ever save your soul.
And that's a fact.
