Traveling Light
Living in a rootless world
I long for a past I was exiled from
Living in a ruthless world
I long for a future that’ll never come
Nowhere to go, I’ve found a home within
Sometimes asylum, sometimes a prison
And everywhere I go, I look to the stars
Who we all know, how they sail so far
With their secrets written, but never for me
Even then, what I can’t see, I see clearly
Keep telling us to fight for ourselves, but never for our own
What can I do for others, when I feel so alone?
Fate wouldn’t have it, destiny’s my ride
Solitude the fuel, loneliness the guide
An aimless direction to a hotbox of depression
Inhale another hit which I can’t afford…
Exhale fills my lungs, which darkness implored
so kiss the devil’s tongue, the price at the door.
Paid my way onboard, still stranded on an island
anchored to Mother Earth, but blown astray
like birds on the wire in Leonard Cohen
Tailwind of Hydra, come take me away.
The prison will never break, the haven will never be
I don’t want your help, but I’ll always plea.
Please forgive me, please let me see what you see
Please murder my Self, please set me free
perhaps you can even take a part of me.
