An Unmarked Place

[Verse 1]
They bolted the lamp where the old pines lean,
Its glass turned inland, its lens gone green.
No harbor below, no hulls to return,
Just a ridge full of paths and a map left to learn.

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to call the crooked beam a mistake,
Now I watch what the mountain wakes.

[Chorus]
Point me past the roads I thought I had to take,
Past the fault lines, past the careful shape.
If my light falls where the wild roots start,
Let it show the country inside my heart.
I’m not a wrong-way signal, not a flaw to erase—
I can turn what I am toward an unmarked place.

[Verse 2]
One pane is chipped; the whole tower sings,
A small bent angle changes everything.
The trail climbs out where the dark firs part,
And the dawn finds a door in the map of my heart.

[Bridge]
Keep the cracked glass; keep the wandering flame.
Tomorrow has no chart with my name.

[Final Chorus]
Point me past the roads I thought I had to take,
Past the fault lines, past the careful shape.
If my light falls where the wild roots start,
Let it show the country inside my heart.
I’m not a wrong-way signal, not a flaw to erase—
I can turn what I am toward an unmarked place.
[Outro]
An unmarked place; the hills open wide.
