I walked across a continent

when  

made to watch their mothers die

they left the bodies by the sides of r

oads

when s

omehow there I  

lost my bride

the ring slipped free and fell beneath t

he 

earth

so like Orpheus I bowed and went far underneath the firmaments

my  

harp strings broke

my

two weeks notice with my rent

and

she grew cold and softly said

I am not your lover I’m the  

map you use to find her

I am  

not your lover

I’m just a  

map 

you

use 

to

find 

her

 

 

 

I step outside my room once more

anot

her ship washed to my shore

her  

face is tired her dress is torn

I l

ook into her eyes and feel her

thirst

she says I’ve come across these waters

I’ve  

watched the stars and read the tides

I  

come to you

and  

I grew cold as I replied

that  

I am not your lover,

I’m the  

map you used to find him

I  

am not your lover

I’m just a  

map 

you

use 

to

find 

him.

 

 

 

that I am not your lover,

I’m the  

map you used to find him

I am  

not your lover

I’m just a  

map 

you

use 

to

find 

him.

that I am not your lover,

I’m the  

map you used to find her

I am  

not your lover

I’m just a  

map 

you

use 

to

find 

her
