Not The Land Lyrics - Caedmon's Call - Caedmons Call

So many miles behind 

Still, I drive with the pedal down 

I was off the map hours back 

It's beneath the seat, I think 

It's with two pennies and a match 

And something else, I can't remember 

But in the time that it would take to fish it out 

I'll be another mile gone and I feel so wrong 

Trying to feel right 

In light of all the things I've passed 

You'd think that I'd have learned 

This is not the land was promised me 

Even as far as my eyes can see 

I'm so wound up, Lord, I can't even breathe 

And I don't want words, I just want some peace 

Some peace, some peace 

It seems I've misplaced my faith 

'Cause it's 11:12 and nothing's changed 

Well, nothing except the channel I'm afraid 

And the number there 

No, it's the same 

Oh, this must be the savior of the month 

And what I must have, where's the night gone? 

'Cause I'm so tired and out of shape 

You've gotta get me up 

But I can't get up today 

'Cause it's been so long 

Since I've felt right 

All the rote, rehearsal, proof 

You'd think that I'd have learned 

This is not the land was promised me 

Even as far as my eyes can see 

I'm so wound up, Lord, I can't even breathe 

And I don't want words, I just want some peace 

Some peace, some peace 

Break me, break me, break me 

This is not the land was promised me 

Gotta get out of bed, get something to read 

And I gotta feed my brother, not my eyes 

If not, then I'll be all I despise
