cj morello - map in maize lyrics

Loading...

sometimes we feel we have turned the last corner
on our paths out of the labyrinth, when in front of us
the gr-ss maze of the world splits: here we are

corn-fed and sufficiently disoriented. how to get back at
the horizon? we have gathered two kernels of wisdom:
that we must guess, and walk with a hand to the wall.

we should also ask how we all got here:
aren’t we too smart to be aimlessly
sundering this field of flora? isn’t it funny

trapped in the sticks for five minutes,
there’s no telling how one got entangled
don’t look back for

we have only one boot left and the beers
are warm. our vehicle’s no cooler, so stop
admiring the hedges

i know, you’re thinking
“if only we parted the stalks, to spy the edges
of the maze we might press

our way out undetected
emerge scratch-free save maybe
brambles in our hair.”

actually we need to leave
before the sun sets
and some bodies get turned on

by search lamps, or else vermin
will attack the lingerers. n0body wants
to live in a maze, and n0body wants rabies,

take it easy, let us roll out
like maps, moments before
the oasis is closed
