Maps Lyrics

Simple map

With a single dot

You are here

And then you're not

Can't put a price

On a thing

That can't be bought

Simple map

Has a single point

You are here

Not by your choice

Have no fear

Of the loudest voice

Smile and nod

While they mutter on like James Joyce

Is there every any randomness

In these events

At least we seem to be happy

In the past tense

My inner speech has taken on a strange dialect

I can't quite catch what it means

I'm afraid to be happy

Cause it gets too intense

Gets too intense

Gets too intense

And when the sky clears

We're reinspired

You make it look easy

As making fire

Life is getting weird

Mirrors cracking when we stare

In at ourselves

Look a little closer

See the disparate parts busy creating a spell

Try to exit

Just for a moment

Just for a moment

Give up the goal post

I woke up mid game

Lord, grant me the strength

To let go of the make believe

The power of prayer is cheap

The mantras don't work for me

But someday they might

I'll be keeping a sharp eye now

Throw the bathwater out

Make room for my new bed

On a small speck of dust

Hanging out with my new friends

Drop through the floor

Land in your room

Pencil marks on the wood

Showing how much we grew

And when the sky clears

We're reinspired

You make it look easy

As making fire

Life is getting weird

Mirrors cracking when we stare

In at ourselves

Look a little closer

See the disparate parts busy creating a spell

Try to exit

Just for a moment
