A Map For Your Wall

[SirkusPi]

Since my roboticization of my vocals made them largely unintelligible ( ), I may as well start off the lyrics thread.

We
We alone still remain
Through seasons of glowing rain
Our bodies cannot feel pain
(they said)

I
I came from oceans away
I hoped that you'd let me stay
If I just knew what to say
(to you)

You
You act as cold as your skin
Hard metal won't let me in
You stop before I begin
(to speak)

{I searched so long,
for someone to be near
You're the first that I found,
but you do not want me here
If you change your mind,
the phones don't work when you call
But if you want to find me,
I drew a map on your wall}

We
We were built for a different age
When mankind held center stage
Then the world turned a page
(and tore)

You
You want to be left alone
A fossil of dead things you've known
Metal turned into stone
(so hard)

I
I need a reason to live
Affection to take and to give
My programming's interactive
(let's play)

{I searched so long ...}

You
You're ready to fade out and die
You'll open your chest to the sky
And wait for rain since you can't cry
(not tears)

I
I've got no choice but to roll on
I can't make you see the next dawn
But I won't watch until you are gone
(and still)

We
Maybe we're not meant to be
Me with you, you with me
But once I leave maybe you'll see

Maybe remember my plea ...
Maybe come looking for me ...

{I searched so long ...} *2

Caught in your web
Lying in your bed
Caught in the gap
without a map

C: C Am F G
For your wall
to show me the way out
I am here
but I feel far away

Caught by a thread
Unravelled and misled
Caught in your trap
lost in a map

A Map for Your Wall
by Ross Durand

Hey Mr. NRA man
I just want to teach your kids, don’t put a gun in my hand
You say guns don’t kill people, people do
How does more people with guns make sense to you?

I’m gonna get a map for your wall so you can stick in a pin
Every time that a gun does another kid in
Or takes away another father, brother, sister, or mom
And you can fill your map up, I’m sure it won’t take long

You know an M16 was made to kill
But not for rabbits or deer (although I’m sure that it will)
It takes weeks of boot camp to earn your arms
But only minutes at a gun show - and no pesky forms

I’m gonna get a map for your wall so you can stick in a pin
Every time that a gun does another kid in
Or takes away another father, brother, sister, or mom
And you can fill your map up, I’m sure it won’t take long

Lots of cold, dead hands making cold, dead hands
Holding on to your view of the law
And a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun
But only if he’s faster on the draw

500 pins in Chicago, 27 back east
2 for the firefighters, rest in peace
You’re gonna have to by 150 pins a week
Watch that map fill up before the next time you speak

I’m gonna get a map for your wall so you can stick in a pin
Every time that a gun does another kid in
Or takes away another father, brother, sister, or mom
And you can fill your map up, I’m sure it won’t take long
I’m sure it won’t take long

A Map for Your Wall by Kasper

So many times, I don't know which way to go
Seems like I always follow with the flow
But I want you with me, of that I'm sure
Indecision's a cancer, there is no cure


I'd show you the way if I knew it myself
I keep my feelings in a jar up on the shelf
And try my best to not let it bother me at all
If I could give you one thing
A map for your wall


I keep my head down, live one day at a time
Look too far ahead and I lose my mind
There must be more to life than this cold and gray
But I took a wrong turn somewhere, and I lost my way


I'd light your way if I knew it
But you gotta be strong enough to just struggle through it
The best thing I can give you is nothing at all
You'll have to find your own way
With the map on your wall

A Map for your Wall

by glennny

verse 1
I spend so much time on the road
And I am always flying in coach
I picked up the SkyMall
I think I found something for your wall

prechorus
You murder me with those sad eyes
As I say I’ve got to go away again

chorus 1
Where I’m going you might want to recall
(daddy daddy where are you?)
So I got a map for your wall
(I’m so very mad at you)
Take a push-pin and put it right in
(daddy daddy where are you)
Any place that I’ve told you I’ve been
(I’m so very mad at you)

verse 2
It fills up the West side of your room
Next to the window summer flowers bloom
You must have at least 200 thumb tacks
Amber, blue and red and black

prechorus
You murder me with those sad eyes
As I say I’ve got to go away again

chorus 2
Is there a logic for the colors you choose?
I’d like to figure it out, so give me a clue
Salt Lake City is the only red one
And happens to be where I was born

verse 3
I got your little brother some Ninjago Spinjitzu
I got you a brand new dress, I hope that it fits you
I gotta get goin’ on another trip right now
I’ll make it up to you, make it up to you, make it up to you somehow

prechorus
You murder me with those sad eyes
As I say I’ve got to go away again

chorus 3
We should tear down that map for your wall
And then replace it with something beautiful
We’d paint a mural of what we could do
If I was home with you
