I had believed my triumphs
Would cradle me
On this bridge above valleys
But none had warned
That support would cave
Beneath the crushing weight
Of all those dreams laid waste
And I kept course
Toward a road of lesser woes.
Through path unyielding,
I felt resolve fatiguing
And unwavering failure
In the face of hope
Now the place I once called my home
Confines me in a stranglehold
And I was a fool
To think my worth
Above the rest.
In this apathetic place
We have no names
Only the stubborn rhythms
In our chests.
But I will surrender
For an end to nights awake
And hollow days.
With a crooked smile on my bruised face
I’ll give all I’ve
Ever known away.
Because I can no longer
Mislead myself
Following this dated farce.
When there’s a signal fire
On a distant shore
Bearing the warmth of an open hearth.
There’s nothing left
In this Keystone state
For me
