Road Sign

The cost
The price at which it's bought
I can't believe it's gotten
To the point to which it's got

I'm lost
I am simply distraught
I've completely forgotten
If I'm still living or not

I burned every single bridge I ever crossed
And now I'm stuck on an island
Crying
With no way off

Paint me a road sign
Point it the direction I should go
I'll wait by the white lines
They paint along the edges of the road

Paint me a road sign
Make it big and make it bright and make it glow
I hate how I stress
I really wish I didn't even want to know

"I insist"
Said the compass
"The sun sets in the South
Don't resist, that's a promise"
I left it at the bottom of the river mouth

"We're right on track!"
Said the map
In a very reassuring tone
But we've circled back
I'm feeling trapped
I may never find my way home

So pave me a highway
Make it run exactly where I'm supposed to be
I ache for some place to stay
Where I'm welcome, where I'm wanted, where I'm free
Pave me a highway
Make it wide and make it smooth and make it true
There's mountains in my way
I fear I lack the dynamite to tunnel through

I sunk every single ship I've ever known
And now I'm stuck on an island
Crying
With no way home
