lyrics

I’ve been burning baby,
For some peace of mind.
Will I find it falling from the factory line.

On the road to wonder,
Just to fill my cup.
When I return will I be out of luck.

The weight of it is just too much.

At the burning bush I read between the lines,
Just to find the root of what is truth or lies.

As an old man lingers,
Will I pay my place,
Will I leave my ticket for the human race.

The weight of it is just too much,
Out of sight and out of touch.
The weight of it is just too much,
Out of sight and out of touch.

I’ll follow you,
If you want me to,
I’ll follow you,
If you want me to,
But I won’t waste my time,
Chasing signs.

Will I fake it make it,
If my ship won’t sail,
In the low tide of my life I’m doomed to fail.

On the stormy ocean,
When you buck and keel.
Surround yourself with those that make you feel.

The weight of it is just too much,
Out of sight and out of touch.
The weight of it is just too much,
Out of sight and out of touch.

I’ll follow you,
If you want me to,
I’ll follow you,
If you want me to,
But I won’t waste my time,
Chasing signs.
