How Near, How Far

This city has lost a certain holds inside It feels so worn being chained here to this life I've been around and seen one hundred scenes Where those who dare to tread the wheel One day find out what's behind that hill Spend half a life deciding what went wrong Trying to find out what took you so long Until you feel it's all part of some crazy scheme It conjures in your memories 'til You discover what's behind that hill You picked me up and we went for a drive Into the stained glass cavern of the night You turn to say, your eyes fixed on the rows Take me from this place I know The ruined landscapes that I once called home I don't know what in this world is trying to save me But I can feel its hand and it's guiding me in sign From lives I've tried to lead To the one that I received Each painted sign along the road Will melt away in source tags and in code
