Burn the Maps Lyrics by Gator

Amateur Cartography

2013

[Intro]
I close my eyes and I lose my heart and I won't make it home again

[Verse 1]
I close my eyes as I'm suddenly certain
We aren't going home tonight
The temperature's changing with momentum
The motion stays its course
An unstoppable force
Until it meets me

[Bridge 1]
When as far as you know there's nowhere left to go
But no reason to stay
There is nowhere new
But you knew this change was coming

[Chorus]
I close my eyes and I losе my heart and I won't make it home again

[Verse 2]
I closе my eyes because I'd much rather feel it than watch it all go black
But trauma's got my back
Jam all of the music into my ears, all that I can hear
And store the rest in empty pockets: jaw, lungs, stomach

[Bridge 2]
There is nowhere to go but down with the undertow
And sink with California
Hold tight, we're sending Ricky for you

[Verse3]
I close my eyes as I'm distinctly certain there is no help on the way
But there is no hell left to pay, our debt's forgiven
And the absolution burns where it seeps into the scars we have earned
I am decorated

[Verse 4]
I'm not calling you out
I'm just calling you out to play
Seems like all there is to do
Ever since I lost my way

[Outro]
I close my eyes and I lose my heart and I won't make it home again
