Not The Land lyrics

So many miles behind
Still I drive with the pedal down
I was off the map hours back
It`s beneath the seat, I think
It`s with two pennies and a match
And something else, I can`t remember
But in the time that it would take to fish it out
I`ll be another mile gone
And I feel so wrong
Trying to feel right
In light of all the things I`ve passed
You`d think that I`d have learned
(Chorus)
This is not the land was promised me
Even as far as my eyes can see
I`m so wound up, Lord, I can`t even breathe
And I don`t want words, I just want some peace
Some peace, some peace
It seems I`ve misplaced my faith
`Cause it`s 11:12, and nothing`s changed
Well, nothing except the channel I`m afraid
And the number there
No, it`s the same
Oh, this must be the savior of the month
And what I must have
Where`s the night gone?
`Cause I`m so tired and out of shape
You`ve gotta get me up
But I can`t get up today
`Cause it`s been so long
Since I`ve felt right
All the rote, rehearsal, proof
You`d think that I`d have learned
(repeat chorus)
Break me, break me, break me
This is not the land was promised me
Gotta get out of bed, get something to read
And I gotta feed my brother, not my eyes
If not, then I`ll be all I despise
