When An Inch Becomes A Mile

If it's your truth not the whole truth, then so help us god

And you're cast out like a bob on some kid's fishing rod

You can tell us your tale of being stuck in a whale

And you can smile when an inch becomes a mile

The center of the universe has deemed itself so

Like a volcanic rock that calls himself snow

If the fortunes are right and it all ends tonight

You can smile when an inch becomes a mile

You can't hear your voice past your dying self worth

Like forgetting your child while you're still giving birth

You can tell us the story of how we don't need to worry

You can smile when an inch becomes a mile

If we burn the whole forest down it'll come back to life

Tell that to the family of who's left on your knife

Is it a victimless crime, if we all end up dying and

You can smile when an inch becomes a mile

I want to move far away down a lone country road

Want to live like the wind through the trees as it blows

Always stay off the trail and my skin never pale

So I can smile when an inch becomes a mile

And you can smile when an inch becomes a mile

And I can smile when an inch becomes a mile
