You are a compass after a shift in the earth’s poles
Forever set to lead me in the wrong direction
With all the trust in my heart put into the copper in my hand I head north
Never realizing that I’m traveling down the map, my latitude lowering in every step without my knowing
And if I took just one second to look up at the stars I could turn myself around and with time reach my goal, my destination
But I keep my eyes fixed on what’s in my hand and walk and walk and walk for miles and miles ahead
All the doubt in my mind has been enshrouded with doubt of its existence
And I will go
Farther and farther south until a wall is reached and my journey can no longer continue
But until that wall is reached
I will blindly follow
Only then can I take my look up at the stars and see
That ignorance is not always bliss
it can put you on a path that you will forever lead until that path leads you into a hole
where you cannot help but to look at the stars
For this journey cannot continue
