ONE MILLION IN MY MIND

i left as you were sleeping
i've been weeping, lost in fear
but i've made a decision
and my vision is quite clear

i've opened up my eyes at last
no longer kitten, blind
i'm twenty miles away from you
one million in my mind

disgusted by ground zero
i'm no hero, heroes die
determined to keep living
and i'm giving up this lie

the world holds many glories
and my own, i know i'll find
i'n fifty miles away from you
one million in my mind

the heat on me was scorching
bridges, torching, in my view
i'm deaf to taunts and cackles
breaking shackles, forged by you

my gaze is on the path ahead
not on the one behind
one hundred miles away from you
one million in my mind

the passing views exhilarate
bad thoughts, negated clean
how cheap the cost of paradise
the price of gasoline

as onward i accelerate
i watch the road unwind
five hundred miles away from you
one million in my mind
