Foothills Of My Mind - John Vanderslice

Fear, is there any other way

To give yourself away

My beaches have been stripped

For your apocalyptic blitz

And I surrendered to the sky

I’m in the foothills of my mind

Setting fires, shooting flares

Lost, looking for your aircraft

All those wasted afternoons

Since you occupied my room

I’m tired, I’m awake

Don’t wanna be a sovereign state

Watching the last lights fade

The stars come into play

Everything’d be okay

If I could just take my place

In the Milky Way

The scent of your sweat remains

So do my bloodstains

Can love make you cry?

Or are you more war-torn than I am?

Why are you flying out of range?

I’m in the foothills of my mind

Setting fires, shooting flares

Lost, looking for your aircraft

Watching the last lights fade

The stars come into play

Everything’d be okay

If I could just take my place

In the Milky Way
