lyrics

Simple map
With a single dot
You are here
And then you're not
Can’t put a price
On a thing
That can’t be bought
Simple map
Has a single point
You are here
Not by your choice
Have no fear
Of the loudest voice
Smile and nod
While they mutter on like James Joyce

Is there every any randomness
In these events
At least we seem to be happy
In the past tense
My inner speech has taken on a strange dialect
I can’t quite catch what it means
I’m afraid to be happy
Cause it gets too intense
Gets too intense
Gets too intense

And when the sky clears
We’re reinspired
You make it look easy
As making fire
Life is getting weird
Mirrors cracking when we stare
In at ourselves
Look a little closer
See the disparate parts busy creating a spell
Try to exit
Just for a moment
Just for a moment

Give up the goal post
I woke up mid game
Lord, grant me the strength
To let go of the make believe
The power of prayer is cheap
The mantras don’t work for me
But someday they might
I’ll be keeping a sharp eye now
Throw the bathwater out
Make room for my new bed
On a small speck of dust
Hanging out with my new friends

Drop through the floor
Land in your room
Pencil marks on the wood
Showing how much we grew

And when the sky clears
We’re reinspired
You make it look easy
As making fire
Life is getting weird
Mirrors cracking when we stare
In at ourselves
Look a little closer
See the disparate parts busy creating a spell
Try to exit
Just for a moment
