Dead Horse Point

This narrow road
Its a long way down
And its a long way around
Sometimes the only way out is through
Miles and miles
I can see where I think I want to be
But its the here to there that's stumping me
And everything is so far below

How did I lose the ground?
How did I get so high
When I carry around this
Persistent fear of heights?
How did I lose the ground?
How did I get so high
When I carry around this
Persistent fear of heights?

I've lost the world
I've seen past so many lines
I've grown too tired of all the lies
That I have told myself so well
Moved beyond the game
Become too aware of a futility
Stuck between a new reality
And an old gilded cage

How can I hate the dark
Then find my guiding light
In the insufficient glow
Of these dim headlights?
How can I hate the dark
Then find my guiding light
In the insufficient glow
Of these dim headlights?

But its ok
I've got plenty of time and gas to burn on through
I've got plenty of memories and thoughts to chew
While I slowly find (make?)my way
I know who I am
And I know what they think they see
But oh, that ain't really me
I wish they could understand

How did I lose the ground?
How did I get so high
When I carry around this
Persistent fear of heights?
How can I hate the dark
Then find my guiding light
In the insufficient glow
Of these dim headlights?
