Lantern Suit, Open Road

I button it up, my lantern suit

Dust on the cuffs, but I look to the roof

The town behind me fades in the dawn

I've worn out the doubt, now I'm moving on

There's a line on the page that I'll never obey

The old map is torn and the ink's washed away

I feel the road breathe under my feet

Calling me farther than the eye can see

I'm walking beyond the old map now

With a spark in my chest and a fire in my brow

If the night tries to hold me, I'll have my own way

In my lantern-lit suit, I'm breaking the grey

I'm heading toward a brighter life

Where the wild winds sing and the future's alive

I'm walking beyond the old map now

And I'm not turning back, not now

Miles in the mud

And a hymn in the air

Organ wheels turn

Like a pair in a stare

Tambourine rattles

Drums roll on

Hear the rough step feels

Like a brand new song

I left all the weight

In the dust at the gate

Now every hard corner

Feels like it's fate

Harmonica wails

From the edge of the river

Like a silver thread dream on a weathered bridge

I'm walking beyond the old map now

With a spark in my chest and a sire in my brow

If the night tries to hold me, I'll light my own way

In my lantern lit suit, I'm breaking the grey

I'm headed toward a brighter light

Where the wild winds sing and the future's alive

I'm walking beyond the old mad now

And I'm not turning back, not now

Let the old sign rust

And the borderlines fade

I was born for the open

For the leap that I made

Every scar on the road

Is a story I keep

And the stars stay awake

When I can't fall asleep

I'm walking beyond

The old mat now

With a spark in my chest

And a fire in my brow

What the night tried to hold me

I light my own way

In my Lennox suit

I'm breaking the grade

I'm headed toward a brighter life

Where the wild winds sing and the future's alive

I'm walking beyond the old mad map

Yeah, I'm walking beyond the old mad map
