Once upon the worn forked road
Living a story never before told
Decisions lay across each path
Who’s to say how the future will unfold
And if Time could find His voice, raise it above the crowd
Raise it up so loud
Revealing the answers showing the way
Letting me know the words I must say
Controlling my future, accepting my past
Finally believing there was no chance it would last
And although you told me you’d catch me when I fall
You never really were there at all
You left me alone to pick myself up
Brush off my knees-emerge from the dust
Wrongfully thinking my life could be just
Living, believing in a bruised trust.
Although even perfection has its own flaws
And no one will ever tell you the reason, the cause
Curiosity always came with a cost
Life is more than it will ever reveal itself to be
Incomprehension sometimes proves itself to be a deadly mistake
Underestimation is an ugly chance to take
So many paths
So many choices to choose
Never knowing what is left to lose
Leaving behind a part of my soul
I only wanted to lead my life in the right direction
Rescue my heart from this ailing infection
As much as I’ve tried to blame you for your sins
I throw myself in a situation where nobody wins
A live lived in denial is a life lived in vain
Tears unshed will drive me insane
Break the connection
Let it all go
Regurgitate the lies I swallowed so eagerly
Let the pain show
Filter my impure heart
Barricade the bitterness
Asking for honesty, taking it back
Acceptance may be one thing I lack
But with tribulation comes inspiration
Rise from the ashes anew
On separate paths once again
One of us had to listen to the voices screaming inside
Nothing left to hold against you
Unknowingly living a story untold
Carrying a heavy heart of gold
Meeting fork after fork in Life’s forked road
