Escape Plans

I've had enough of this
Been stuck inside all day
I need to get out of this house
It's always been like this
Each winter gets to me
And now I'm planning my escape
"Where would you go?
What would you see?
What would you do?
Who would you be?"
Who cares about all that
It's all in my hands
So just get in the car
These are my plans for escape
The grind has gotten stale
I must get out of here
And so I'm planning my escape
Where shall we go today?

Set controls for the heart of the sun
I'm so bored now so let's have some fun
Set controls for the core of the earth
And let's milk it for all of its worth
Set controls for the light of the moon
This will be a big financial boon
Set controls for the depths of the sea
I'll find treasure beyond the debris
Set controls for the surface of Mars
If I miss I'll still be in the stars
Set controls for the shores of Japan
That's what loneliness does to a man
Set controls for the edges of space
Because I've had enough of the race
Set controls for the next train to leave
That's enough and I need a reprieve
"Do you know where you are?
Do you know what to do?
Do you know where you'll go?
And did you think this through?
Do you know where you are?
Do you know what to do?
Do you know where you'll go?
And did you think all this through?"
Set controls for the heart of the sun

The Journey
07:45
|

I set out for anywhere
Looking for the fresher air
Where I'm staying I don't care
But I think I'm lost
Ten and two I take the wheel
Got a wounded soul to heal
All I see are empty fields
And I think I'm lost
One more hour of driving still
Then I'll be atop a hill
Testing what's left of my will
And I think I'm lost
Had to stop for gas again
Got back on the road and then
Sign says I'm in MIchigan
And I think I'm lost
I don't know where I am
And I don't care
Fifteen hours in my tour
Calling quits is premature
It's been real fun that's for sure
But I think I'm lost
Seven a.m. on the dot
Stomach all tied up in knots
Starting to have second thoughts
And I think I'm lost
I don't know where I am
And I don't care
Let's keep going

Icarus

in my haste to be on the run
I have flown too close to the sun
And it's time to go home
So my wings have melted away
I retreat without a delay
And it's time to go home
When I left my house with no destination
I thought that I had it all
It's just what I need, a solo vacation
To chase off my loneliness
A soft-spoken man, a world so much louder
I'm drowning in all the noise
But then I forgot just why I was running
I stopped at the next hotel
Overlooked, oft-ignored, and invisible
I don't know why my head still won't let it drop
Trapped inside, all alone, that's just how I feel
I would do anything just to make it stop
When I stopped the car a thousand miles from home
And not a clue where I was
I thought this escape would make me feel better
But somehow this made it worse
I looked at my phone, I saw several missed calls
And hundreds of messages
I've made up my mind, I'll spend the night here then
Tomorrow the U-turn starts
Overlooked, oft-ignored, and invisible
I don't know why my head still won't let it drop
Trapped inside, all alone, that's just how I feel
I would do anything just to make it...
Good morning world, what's going on
Time to retrace my steps
My phone says I'm in Omaha
How did I pull that off?
One thousand miles and sixteen hours
I got some time to kill
Also I have phone calls to make
And messages to send
You wanna hang out? Does Friday work for you?
Set controls for the driveway at home
Because I have quenched my thirst to roam
Set controls for the heart of my couch
I have permission to be a slouch
Set controls for the neighborhood bar
I can walk there it's not very far
Set controls for the foot of my bed
I'm tired and I need to rest my head
You wanna hang out? Does Friday work for you?
You wanna hang out? Is Saturday okay?
I spend so much time alone now it's your problem too
Now I need to see some friends over a beer or two
Tried running from loneliness set myself up to fail
Let's hang out when I get back over a nice scotch ale
You wanna hang out? Does Friday work for you?
You wanna hang out? Is Saturday okay?
You wanna hang out? Does Sunday work for you?
Better idea - Next Friday at my house.
in my haste to be on the run
I have flown too close to the sun
And it's time to go home
So my wings have melted away
I retreat without a delay
And it's time to go home
