Destinations

[00:19.28] It's just a temporary slide back in the abyss
[00:22.81] I shoulda seen it comin' from miles away
[00:25.34] Open armed, in a thick coat of structure
[00:29.02] Shieldin' me from my own blades and dagger
[00:33.41] There was purpose on the horizon
[00:37.47] A destination, tangible and fragrant
[00:46.19]
[00:49.36] And I marched as I knew
[00:54.05] And I marched as I knew
[00:58.61] And I marched as I knew
[01:03.47] And I marched with a thousand
[01:07.30]
[01:29.72] It's not surprisin' I should find myself flailin'
[01:33.09] Havin' crossed the bridge of certainty
[01:36.03] Back behind enemy lines with no work 'til Tuesday
[01:40.22] I didn't even buckle to temptation
[01:43.47] Guard down, with little to do I welcome old habits
[01:46.79] Like a long-lost friend, to spite you
[02:16.80] Egged on by weakened days
[02:19.22] Givin' themselves up to the strengthenin' menace of darkness
[02:24.02] The shrinkin' hours of light are gray and feeble
[02:28.13] The soggy trees sigh, droppin' their leaves in defeat
[02:33.90] The temperature falls, the big lights switch on
[02:44.79] And from time to time, fireworks frighten the cats
[02:48.93]
