Day the 29th.

lyrics

I went for a walk and I got lost

There's no way in, no way out
I'm not sure when to get up
because I don't know where I fell down
the hole now is all I'll ever be
just scratching at the walls of apathy
and never see the sun as it rises greater
than I saw set
the raw text becomes my next best bet
as all the pain piles up and I fall to bed
and rile up the crowd I led across the frozen surface
only the polar bears know that no one deserves this
I cross the street, looking for a sign or landmark
but all I can see is land that goes on
and the sky in its arc
no cars will stop
no calls can be made
so I throw the phone away
and hope for the moonlight
but it's a new moon
even though there's no new night

I ruin all my shoes on bits of broken glass
on my way home, but I don't know
which way is that?

I don't know
Which way is that?
Which way is that?

Am I close? Am I far?
Do I know? Who I am?
What I are? X2

I hone in on the tallest of towers
but I know it could still be hours and hours
and I hold the map in my hand
knowing it's no good in a city I no longer understand
and it's a pity, if I only had lifted a finger
or a palm-print
I could've waved this all away
had I simply known the plan
but it's too late
I'm falling and
As a man I know not
the recipe for good intentions
lest it be written upon my inventions
and destiny intertwines its lines with fate
never know the day I know I will fade
But I'll wait, because
It's all in your best interests
But I'm not into this
this cinder block, crumble under the weight of my symbols
a fickle lock
the weight of the world's the way in
to the words on the way out
I'm flailing my arms
drowning in a sea of undetonated bombs
hey now, I'm calling out
into the waves
where no one is going now
but at least I feel safe

I ruin all my shoes on bits of broken glass
on my way home, but I don't know
which way is that?

I don't know
Which way is that?
Which way is that?

Am I close? Am I far?
Do I know? Who I am?
What I are? X2
