Roads To Somewhere
The weight of the world on her shoulders
Memories frayed, makes her grow colder
Who is this girl to try and have better?
All her life paying out to her debtors.
Can’t she just see that there is still purpose
Most passed her by, cannot scratch the surface.
Is it just fate or a matter of believing?
With a smile on her face, she prolongs the healing.
Six different roads will lead to the same place
Most of her journey, subjected and displaced
How far is heaven when you can’t stand on two feet
The rhythm of war aligns with each heartbeat.
She pushes down her flaring hot temper
Afraid they will all eventually reject her
All she can see is herself getting older
Questions her life, should she be bolder?
Is it a deficiency that keeps her quite frail?
Did she miss out? Or has that shipped sailed?
Her fears are the trigger
The truth is the gun
The evidence unclear so she repeatedly runs.
Six different roads will lead to the same place
Most of her journey, subjected and displaced
How far is heaven when you can’t stand on two feet
The rhythm of war aligns with each heartbeat.
