lyrics

losing everything that matters most to me,
beginning with my sense of self-sufficiency,
and the neighbors, and the traffic are driving me mad

at a crossroads with a crosswalk in my head
and a light that never turns red
all the cars keep zoomin' past with and without drivers
and it says "the end is nigh" on all the bumper stickers

you can say that i'm at odds with common sense
that i could chip away forever and never make a dent
you see that's my definition of persistence,
and if it takes two hands and a mirror
i will show you a for instance:

try and fix your crosshairs on the crosstalk of the constellations, give it time and you will understand
my undying impatience.

you see it's a long walk to the moon,
and i guessed i'd lose my way,
out here nothing comes too soon,
and there was nothing you could do to make me stay.
there was nothing anyone could to do...
