Lyrics: Chris Burgess
Music: Maps Need Reading

lyrics

I.
On a Thursday night
We're caught in a haze
Mind may be lucid
But body ablaze

Look at us
Oh, what a laugh
To try for the whole thing
But only get half

To err is human
But we used to be divine
I'm beginning to thinking
This was all by design

Keep me vigil
While they click their tongues
Sin sings out
While our song goes unsung

The belly of the beast
Will show me the way
Find my center
Then on to Saturday

II.
Let your altar grow
From those seeds you'd sown
Then one day I knew
What I didn't mind to know
(Biding your time -- let go of me!)

Failing grip is bliss
Something has been missed
Someone left behind
You could not stop this
(Something new you found
Deep in your queue -- let go of me!)

If ever to be saved
Tear from that old page
The familiar feel
From the book I gave!
(You're so blind while you are
Bidding your time so far
Lost in your rhyme when you
Let go of me!)
