Slippery is the Slope

Sometimes I sit inside my wonder
Wondering what you see when you look back
But I guess it doesn’t matter
Because I’ve finally picked up my own slack

All the nights spent awake in the dark
Drowning in the tears I thought wouldn’t stop
Questions circled around my heart
I felt it as my soul just dropped

And took me a few million tears
To wash away the endless fears
I faked the smile. I faked the cheers
I faked the away the days in years

And here I stand on my own again
You hit me up like we’re still friends
The breadcrumbs of your pretend
Cannot break what I built to bend

And like the reed caught in the wind
And like the storms that never end
And like lightning crashing that you send
My ashes are now born again

With drier eyes through which I see
This empty road in front of me
I’ll walk alone and set myself free
Alone for the rest of eternity

But it’s all good now as I walk away
Even as I remember begging you to stay
And now it’s all buried inside it’s grave
With flowers growing inside the shade

I’ll find a way to open up my heart
I’ll find my way back to the lands of hope
I’m making myself that brand new start
Moving on across the slippery slope
