《The Map》歌词

[00:00:00] The Map - Parquet Courts

[00:00:01] Written by：Austin Brown/Andrew Savage

[00:00:24] You'll be uncomfortable 40 percent of the time

[00:00:26] When you open the gates of adulthood

[00:00:32] A fair warning dare I question its accuracy

[00:00:38] But still there was much I wasn't told

[00:00:42] And much that wasn't explained

[00:00:50] I decided to venture out seeking answers

[00:00:54] I went to a professional

[00:00:59] Can you pinpoint the origin of my anxiety

[00:01:02] The doctor pulled out a map

[00:01:08] I studied it and there I saw

[00:01:10] Envy bitterness love nostalgia confusion guilt and desire

[00:01:14] All illuminated like neon on the perimeters of a bustling thoroughfare

[00:01:21] Soliciting my neurons for their patronage

[00:01:28] Buzzing and pregnant with emotional potential

[00:01:30] Ships docking harbors like thoughts approaching the threshold of perception

[00:01:35] Towns of rapid traffic synapse intersections

[00:01:38] Forests of dense cranial arbors

[00:01:43] I continued studying the map

[00:01:50] It's here

[00:01:52] The doctor pointed to an empty patch

[00:01:58] There was one road leading out to an empty patch

[00:02:00] It didn't dead end but just sort of disappeared in isolation

[00:02:05] Right here

[00:02:06] I surveyed the space with my finger

[00:02:10] The doctor nodded gravely

[00:02:13] I'll leave you with the map for a moment he said

[00:02:15] Then gathered his instruments and neatly exited the room

[00:02:21] I traced the path of the disappearing road until it was no longer a road

[00:02:27] Tapping with my finger on what I decided was the threshold of the road's existence

[00:02:30] I stated it is here where I will retire
