Miles Above the Map

A long and lonely path, above the endless deep You showed me how to laugh, above the misery In just a little flash, the truth is sometimes seen With just a little grasp, you’ve got eternity Prostitutes sitting in for the sages In a windowless office, picking through the pages Thinking of the minute that it suddenly became a dream Dynamite got buried with the profits Nobody’s even got the key to unlock it Nobody’s been keeping their appointments except for me A tiny piece of glass, beneath your tender feet Some day it all will pass, right now we watch you bleed The trail cuts through the grass, and brings us to the peak You break it all apart, to take it piece by piece There’s no spark getting through to the starter Sleeping with the mother, dreaming of the daughter Waiting for the minute you could finally keep it clean Suddenly, everything feels familiar All the thoughts are finally slipping through the filter Finally, everything is quickly coming back to me Miles above the map, with everything in view You’re gonna have to lead To make them follow you The plans you never made refuse to leave your side It’s getting hard to sleep Until the feeling dies
