That Path

Please show me love like I’ve never known I’ve crawled up to this height all on my own Please teach my heart that it’s not alone I’m closing my eyes and I’m letting go My sacrifice whispers that I am wrong It’s starting to fade into the darkest song These words in its rhythm just don’t belong I can no longer hold on People that see death as the devil’s hands Running and screaming and burning the land I’m caught in the middle of their demands Their grains of sand I can’t centre wisdom within this place The love that I need is somewhere in this race My efforts become hopes for saving face It’s the darkest taste Insecure and pricelessly dressed in gold So shiny and loving; the things I hold I’ve forgotten exactly what was just sold I know only what they’ve told The loving that I need is painted white But underneath her skin there’s only night Too busy to look deeper than I might It’s just a pretty sight
