Make My Escape Lyrics

There's a lonely summit I know

A rocky perch where people don't go

Off the beaten path just near by

You've left the map the only sound is wind through the scrub pines

It sounds like the porch broom

Reflecting off the lake tide

While everyone else back on the ground

Stumbles through their lives

Oh how I long to dissolve into

And meld with it

I fling myself, into its abyss

This place is always here

It knows nothing of our earthly binds

While birch roots grapple ancient schist

So beautifully oblivious

Come to this place once or twice

Come maybe once or twice more in my life

Its peacefulness may I retrain

In the crisp dry grass I make my escape

Oh how I long, to dissolve into it

and meld with it, I fling myself, into its abyss

Hot air is thick I drink it in

Oh take my sweat I give to you

Unplug me please I'll sit with you

Only existing is what's left to do

The rocks are warm the lichen happy

Species buzzin, the brittle bark is sappy

Bring up the world one at a time

And out of bounds we make the climb

And oh how I long, to dissolve

Into it, and meld with it

I fling myself into its abyss

It takes my limbs, and runs away

I become one, I float away

Into this expanse, my soul rises high

The flutter of the grass through every season

Leafy middens unseen

Every sunny day and every squall

It just sits there, through it all

And oh how I long, to dissolve

Into it and meld with it

I fling myself into its abyss

It takes my limbs away with it

And each atom separates

I'm finally free, there's no taxman up here

He wasn't up for the bushwack
