A Map Of My World

[Verse 1]
Hard times and a gentle pace
Like stone, I am weathered slowly
Building of my disgrace
When I know there's a better way
I'm falling out of favour
With every breath I take
There's no excuse for bad behaviour
Somebody's counting all our mistakes

[Chorus]
I fill my head up with pleasant notions
One day I'll just walk away

[Verse 2]
Dark nights and working days
Like spirits rushing past you
Headlong towards the grave
Searching for a place to rest
In silence we stand alone
Until the lesson's over
Many questions come and go
And still the answers won't set you free

[Chorus]
I fill my head up with pleasant notions
One day I'll just walk away

[Verse 3]
Tell me the truth again
Then try to stop me laughing
I'm sure that what you say
You really believe in
My world is a perfect grey
A compromise of standards
Only conscience remains
But I won't let you walk over me

[Chorus]
I fill my head up with pleasant notions
How could I be sure?
I fill my head up with pleasant notions
One day I'll just walk away
