Before the Mountains Flatlined

There's a road that I know running straight away from here
Past the stop lights, electric nights and civilized veneers
With any luck, I'll break down somewhere past the borderline
Lose my keys, find my heart, take a breath of open sky
I'm on my way to lose my mind

Before the mountains flatlined—
Last light of the sun, in hindsight—
I spoke a different tongue
My muse would let me choose the words, the world, the music
It's not amusing; she don't look at me anymore, she's saying
Oh my God, you've changed
You're so sane, so plain, so extravagantly the same
But I can't wait to lose it, I can't wait to lose my mind

Beggars never chose what came their way
But every dead soul willed its heart away
So don't you go gentle into that good night
When the world is ablaze in the light of your life
