Thrice - Madman lyrics

Our course is coarsely plotted On a map of shoddy dreams, But hindsight will reveal Time's moving faster than it seems. Maybe I'm just selfish, I've got nothing left to give. I'm still a foolish boy, I've got a lifetime left to live, And I was swinging like a madman, Not quite sure of what I felt, And I might never understand Exactly what it was I'd held, And now I watch the sun descending From the weathered gravel roof, And I recall the sky once told me That all lies lead to the truth. So I'll look the other way, And I'll turn a deafened ear, And I'll talk of distant lands, Pretend I was never here. Reality beads on my skin Like a slicker in the rain, But now I feel it soaking in And I begin to feel the pain. I fight the urge to run to you, This is how it has to be. We've gotta step away right now, We're just too close to see, And I was swinging like a madman, Not quite sure of what I felt, And I might never understand Exactly what it was I'd held, And now I watch the sun descending From the weathered gravel roof, And I recall the sky once told me That all lies lead to the truth. So I'll look the other way, And I'll turn a deafened ear, And I'll talk of distant lands, Pretend I was never here, And I'll look the other way, And I'll turn a deafened ear, And I'll talk distant lands, Pretend I was never here
