Not The Land Caedmon's Call
So many miles behind, still I drive pedal down
Off the map hours back, it's beneath the seat, I think
With two pennies and a match
And something else I can't remember
But in the time that it would take to fish it out
I'll be another mile gone

And I feel so wrong, trying to feel right
In light of all the things I've passed you'd think that I have learned

This is not the land was promised me
Even as far as my eyes can see
I'm so wound up I can't even breathe
I don't want words, I just want some peace

It seems I've misplace my faith
It's 11:12, nothing's changed
Well, nothing except the channel I'm afraid
And the number there, no it's the same
Oh, this must be the savior of the month, and what I must have
Where's the night gone
I'm so tired and out of shape
You've gotta get me up, but I can't get up today
And it's been so long since I've felt right
All the rote, rehearsal, proof
You'd think that I'd have learned

Break me
This is not the land was promised me
Gotta get out of bed
Get something to read
Gotta feed my brother
Not my eyes
If not, then I'll be all I despise
