Halfway to Nowhere

Halfway young, 'cos the mind won't grow old Half past dead with a lifetime to go Next to nothing is all that it takes Only time to lose What to gain in its place? One part is still as another part moves on I'm switching it up because this road is long Step after step I think I will see what it was in my head as it fell to my feet All out poise and all out haste for every heartbeat and breath I must take Justice, forge me, through force and form until I'm broken Undone, destroyed and reborn There is no end in never after There is no life on middle ground Only the spectacle of downfall Back to the center of the earth Part of me comes clean to half-turned backs With one part of me on both sides of the tracks Standing my ground 'til the lights of hope almost mesmerize me And I know what to do
