"Vertical Lines"

Vertical lines on the horizon
Show me where, where to go
I'm so lost in the crossfire
Of these lights and shadows
Blinded by the things I know

The sky's alive, with watching eyes
See the patterns, read the signs
I want to know why I'm alive
I want to know why I'm alive

Vertical lines etched into stone
How long have we been on this road
Carving days into the pavement
On our own
With nothing concrete to show

The sky's alive, with watching eyes
See the patterns, read the signs
I want to know why I'm alive
I want to know why I'm alive
And I'm captive to these lines

The sky
Towering above me
And I'm only moving horizontally

The sky's alive, with watching eyes
See the patterns, read the signs
I want to know why I'm alive
I want to know why I'm alive
Erase the lines, erase the lines
