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
