The Mountain

I know a girl
Who strips and shoots
She sees the world in absolutes
With all the wells dry
And no sheriff in town
You could see how some might give into it now
You have to get used to the silence cause nobody comes around
But you can see more from the mountain than you can on solid ground
I went out to replace
A fuse that was blown
The lights turned on I was all alone
I went out to look
For the kodiak bear
I walked back to camp with dry blood in my hair
And I saw it all in a movie no one that I knew was there
But you can see more from the mountain than you can on solid air
Shoot those places back into my mind
Separate the space from all this time
Make the pound and pulse of things resign
Where we left is days behind
I've lived lives in reverse sometimes
I've walked right in and said good-bye
If you're raised to ignore
The tunnels you find
And graves and trenches in a line
You might lose your cool when you need it you might find yourself in shock
When you can see more from the mountain and your heart is solid rock
Shoot those places back into my mind
Separate the space from all this time
Where the plans have all been set aside
Where we left is days behind
