Something

Broken bottles line the pathway of my feet In another place and time they would retreat But the circumstance don't make it so The light inside is fading low Summoning the plunge into the deep To where did all the years so gradually retreat Is this as far as one could ever hope to reach There's a flame inside that turning cold Dancing in a faded gold Its ashes left to tumble in the breeze I need something Oh something I don't wanna grow old and be left with nothing There's a million miles to go but I fear I'm running low I may not get to make it to the show A good counsel with oneself is hard to keep And some rewards harder still to reap It's the firepit inside the soul That pushes on like it doesn't know The clock sits playing poker with the beast I need something Oh something I don't wanna grow old and be left with nothing There's a million miles to go but I fear I'm running low If only then I knew what I now know
