Wading in the waves
Splash against your cheeks
You'll learn to sway
And at the end
You'll learn to pray
The long road of whats' at stake
Past the promises you forsake
Pebbles from the pavement
Proof nothing stays intact
It all comes down to
how you choose to react
In the empty stays of independent lies
Bundled so closely they seem almost ghostly
Laid out in the wreckage of the crash of could have been
She comes to pick you up from a road gone rogue
She speaks to you in a dialect that sounds like sadness
Map indistinguishable, rubbed by time
So you take any road your wheels bear traction
Giving favor to any vaguely familiar site
You'll cross a river you've never seen
You'll stop and pine over territory uncharted
Thought you had the time
Wonder how many pennies thrown only not to come true
Caught in the current of all they couldn't do
Lofty, like wishes not spoken and prayers never heard
So you shout them louder vibrating desperation that has no use
Fate sealed in the frailty of voices echoing nothing new
Along the splintered dock
Nails rise up through wood bound to rot
It burrows in your skin but it knows not to bleed
For it's the heart that walks the plank from love's mutiny
