The Mountain

I know a girl
 Who strips and shoots
 She sees the world in absolutes
 With all the wells dry
 And no sheriff in town
 You could see how some might give into it now
 You have to get used to the silence cause nobody comes around
 But you can see more from the mountain than you can on solid ground
 I went out to replace
 A fuse that was blown
 The lights turned on I was all alone
 I went out to look
 For the kodiak bear
 I walked back to camp with dry blood in my hair
 And I saw it all in a movie no one that I knew was there
 But you can see more from the mountain than you can on solid air
 Shoot those places back into my mind
 Separate the space from all this time
 Make the pound and pulse of things resign
 Where we left is days behind
 I've lived lives in reverse sometimes
 I've walked right in and said good-bye
 If you're raised to ignore
 The tunnels you find
 And graves and trenches in a line
 You might lose your cool when you need it you might find yourself in shock
 When you can see more from the mountain and your heart is solid rock
 Shoot those places back into my mind
 Separate the space from all this time
 Where the plans have all been set aside
 Where we left is days behind
