Another Country Lyrics

For the lies you told to keep yourself together

For the wonders that you swore that you had seen

For the wounds you caused without a second thought but swear that you didn't mean

You threw away your charm into your resignation

You gave away your chance at who you could have been

Skipping town to chase an answer that you thought you might have heard upon the wind

Doesn't seem that smart to me

Can't keep away now from the people that you've been

Can't keep away all that you've seen

Take your photographs and burn them as an offering

Take your innocence and give it to the sea

Let the record show your knowledge of yourself is rooted only in your dreams

And their fanged subjectivity

Can't keep away now from the things that you have seen

Can't keep away from what they mean

Can't keep away now from the things that you have dreamed

Can't keep away from who you've been

For the path you took to find a quicker answer

For the nights you tried to hide behind a screen

For the desperation tugging at your limbs as you picked open all your seams

For the lies you told to keep yourself together

For the wonders that you swore that you had seen

Come look around now, see where you stand as the map closes in

Is it another country

Can't keep away now from the people that you've been

Can't keep away from what you've seen

Can't help but try to keep the questions from the answers

Can't help but hide inside your dreams

For the days still yet to come in all their wisdom

For the nights in all their shared complicity

For the shadow that you trail so close beside you that you never could deceive

For the light as it refracts into your vision

For the ground that slowly moves beneath your feet

Come look around now

Is it another country
