i should be 40 miles out already

come on over, i need your help
help me get the courage to be the change
the changes i want to see
help me get the courage
to burn the house down

the embers falling will be the impetus
to get out of the hole these walls hide poorly
i don't want to be around long enough
to see the ashes falling lightly
i should be 40 miles out already
no one wants this more than me. except you.
or so i am hoping to hear.

open the door and let me fly through
my feet are so sore already from the waiting
my heart is so tired of being torn and waiting
the match is lit and the papers are set
the matches lit and the papers go up first
warming the fuel in my head, in my skin

answer the call i send out daily to you
filling the answering machine daily for you
i still feel the fire in my skin
i still hear my lungs screaming for
oxygen deprivation
i get from running
so hard
