Madman lyrics

our course is coarsely plotted
on a map of shoddy dreams
and hindsight will reveal
time`s moving faster than it seems
and maybe i`m just selfish
cause ive got nothing left to give
im still a foolish boy
ive got a lifetime left to live

i was swinging like a madman,
not quite sure what i`d felled
and i might never understand
exactly what it was i`d held
now i watch the sun descending
from the weathered gravel roof
and i recall the sky once told me
that all lies lead to the truth

so i`ll look the other way
and i`ll turn a deafened ear
and i`ll talk of distant lands
and pretend i was never here

reality beads on my skin
like a slicker in the rain
but now i feel it`s soaking in
and i begin to feel the pain
i fight the urge to run to you
this is how it has to be
we`ve gotta step away
right now we`re just to close to see
so i`ll look the other way
and i`ll turn a deafened ear
and I`ll talk of distant lands
and pretend I was never here
