My Only Witness

Hiding from my dreams
I feel myself running faster
Leaves on dying trees my only witness
I'm left standing beside myself it seems

The darkness of your forest engulfs my spirit
Alone and scared, tears trickle past my hope
I can't escape from my past, I pretend to cope
Abandon the truth that is clearly visible

Subsidized meaning behind your smile
The weight of your words becomes more like a memory
Remember when all men were taught chivalry
It was a lesson it seems to be lacking in the present

Venture past the brink of what was possible
I can not argue with the logic of the reason
But as summer sets we are in the cycle of seasons
As predictable as the words from my mouth
