Distraction Ii

Pulling it back again
From earth, moon, to hand and pen
We can keep all the wheels turning
Safely remove the "when"

Toil the land for years
Witness repeating gears
We'll cycle until we believe
The earth will present a mirror

But a mind so curious
Must drift now and then
It will peer for a moment
Just around the bend

All is approaching
More quickly
Than you can close the door

Pulling it back again
From millions to less than ten
It's a map with no destination
There's minutes left to defend

Wounds that you seek to heal
And subsequently you'll peel
The flesh away from the body
To curb the looming reveal
But no length of exertion
Forever holds the seal

So let the mountains reach high
Let the rivers run deep
So that we'll never rest
Not until we're asleep
When the equation dissolves
But until then we'll run
O forgive me, I've glanced
It is coming undone

So let the mountains reach high
Let the rivers run deep
So that we'll never rest
Not until we're asleep
When the equation dissolves
But until then we'll run
O forgive me, I've glanced
It is coming undone
