No Debut
Oh no
Where to go
I’m at war with the fork in the road
It’s too far
To see
The resolution. The picture in front of me.
There’s a force
Pulling me
Feels like its right there but I can’t
See the culprit’s face
I still believe
It’s preconceived
Nothing more
Than a question dismissed
A twist of an injured wrist but I swore
I’d never wait for clarity to drift ashore
But now
I’m stuck in moments past and I’ve
Put more sand in my hourglass
But I’m always left drowning in pools of candlewax.
And on the edge of space
Overcame with the racing
Urge to fly on my own
Guess soaring is easier said than done
‘Cause it’s no debut
The sky that we all used to look up to
Has been cascading down. Now I’m
Beaten and battered. Yeah, I’m all black and blue
From shards shredding my view in two
And though I know this book’s not
Born in stone, it’s like each
Chiseled page has its own
Set of bones
But I’ll arrive
Surprised
Although I know that I’ve derived
That ocean currents flow the way they flow.
‘Cause it’s no debut
The sky that we all used to look up to
Has been cascading down. Now I’m
Beaten and battered. Yeah, I’m all black and blue
From shards shredding my view in two
It’s like the difference between fire and flame
One’s bound to transpire
The other is calling my name
Almost the same
To preach love, to practice pain
It’s such a fucking shame
It’s nothing new
I’ve taken for granted all that I can do
But who else can see this through
It’s no debut
The sky that we all used to look up to
Has been cascading down. Now I’m
Beaten and battered. Yeah, I’m all black and blue
From shards shredding my view in two
