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
