Perimeter

I’m gonna’ walk the perimeter
Make a circle in the sand
Use the shadows that surround me
To help me understand

I’m gonna’ walk the perimeter
Like a human satellite
Find the key to all my questions
If I make it out alive

I’m gonna’ walk the perimeter
360°
Lift the curtain to uncover
What I have never seen

I’m gonna walk the perimeter
Counter clockwise I suppose
Maybe bring a roll of film
And see what I expose

Walk the perimeter

I’m gonna’ walk the perimeter
Use my ego as a guide
Approach the edge and dare the darkness
To look me in the eye

I’m gonna’ walk the perimeter
With a bible and a gun
Finish everything I started
Embrace what I’ve become

I’m gonna’ walk the perimeter
Split the riddles at the seams
Take my secrets to the garden
Plant them in a dream

I’m gonna’ walk the perimeter
Tie my trouble to the tracks
Hook my heart up to the engine
Get this monkey off my back

Walk the perimeter

Way out beyond the border
On the other side
There is a lighthouse with a beacon
Saving sailors every night

But I am nowhere near those waters
And long ago I sank the sails
Ever after will I wander
Riding on the rails
