COMPASS
Words & Music by Richard X. Heyman, Copyright 2013

Ah, the sun is rising in the west today
And it’s not surprising that we lost our way
Now we’ve been stranded in the wilderness too long
And we don’t need a compass to see where we’ve gone wrong

We keep going back and forth through this double-cross town
Thought we were headin’ up north, but we were heading on down
Can’t find the future when we can’t see through the frost
And we don’t need a compass to see we’re hopelessly lost

We’re on an uncharted isle, we’re on a cul de sac
Each inch feels like a mile, two steps forward, three steps back
Lost at sea we don’t know the bow from the stern
And we don’t need a compass to see that we missed our turn

We tried to follow this route but it led us nowhere
And now the point is moot, can’t get there from here
Now we’ve been stranded in the wilderness too long
And we don’t need a compass to see where we’ve gone wrong
No we don’t need a compass to see where we’ve gone wrong
Yeah, we don’t need a compass to see where we’ve gone wrong
