Extraction Point

[Verse 1] You never learn to tell the difference between The probable projections And the best parts of the dream The fragments that stick with you The ones you really feel Those parts aren't real [Pre-Chorus 1] But high in the cold Midwestern air They shimmer before us there Almost out of reach but not quite Stay up thinking about it all night Waited so long for days like these I'm tired of living on my knees [Chorus] Pull your hair back tight Head right for the extraction point And if you don't hear from me Let them all go free [Verse 2] I'm on the Kennedy Expressway at dawn Don't know where we got this car from I'm driving with the fog lights on The angles you don't plan for The things you might have missed Those things exist [Pre-Chorus 2] But under the waxing winter sun I feel like we're almost gone Just pick a lane and drive right through Headed off to freedom with you Dreams of the future up in the front of my mind Leave a couple dozen bodies behind [Chorus] Pull your hair back tight Head right for the extraction point And if you don't hear from me Let them all go free
