Maps and Mouse traps


Aaron Johnson

Often times

We find

The things we weren’t looking for

In the things we weren’t trying not to find

And you end up staring

Into the face of fait

Learning the gun goes off on it’s own

Jumping before you can

There you are looking at the rings of fire you would rather hold than jump through

Just another clown on his way to work

Your intentions thought up but not by you

Waiting for that nine to five o live in the staff room

Yeah plans don’t get you far from that clock

That’s why I leave an empty map next to my bed

Yeah and I know who’s got the marker

He’s just working with the paper I give him

I’m just the paper

I see him every time I stare up at those stars

Why the God who placed the stars in the sky would wash my feet

I’ll never understand, I could just stare at his sky forever and never understand

Only know how he makes me feel

How he makes it all real
