The Starting Line - Matt Pond PA

They keep on moving the starting line

In the windshield light where we searched ourselves

The chest pocket, the best way to go

Outside Chicago where we stuck to the streets

I was second-guessing stars and they were triple-guessing me

Comets cut across the sky, leaving Indiana lost

A million highway cars parked, breathing each second in

Forever ready to live, standing still until the end of time

They keep moving on the starting line

We saw it all, in vivid emptiness

All the florescent magic from the time we killed

We can still have a couple more light speed dreams

There’s no turning back, even if we break down

They keep on moving the starting line

On the trail I took back to your consciousness

If you would search myself, I could search yourself

Outside Chicago, in the static motorcade

The re-enactors poised on the shattered sea glass

It doesn’t matter what they say

They keep, keep, they keep moving on the starting line

Forever flashing those animal eyes

The muscle memory, it won’t let go

We saw it all in vivid emptiness

We can still have a couple more light speed dreams

As long as we know we don’t know anything

As long as we know we don’t know anything

As long as we know we don’t know anything

As long as we know we don’t know anything

They keep on moving the starting line

Startling line

They keep on moving the starting line
