There s a splinter in my brain that s a long way from home
For quite some time it s been the only part of you I ve known

My mind is always wandering towards an western star
a million miles as the crow flies, a million miles too far
despite it's dying 70,000 years ago
it seems i can't say no

There s a sliver of recognition that for years and years has grown
my hands remain as empty as my face has blankly shone

I ve never been that strong, but when it comes to hanging on
my grip on you has been tenacious
on the border of predacious
your future s in the clouds, mine s pinned against a wall
so every day I hope and pray that neither of us fall

I m sorry and you don t know why
but it s been a long time coming
the action is inaction
decision by indecision
any way you look at it, I m completely in the wrong
I ve had my mind in the clouds for entirely too long
