Serpentine Road

A serpentine road awaits deep in my fate A fate that I can't deceive, a fate I will come to face Waiting for relief, a brief moment of ease Alleviating the grief from this world of disease The weight sits on my shoulders till it digs in my core And there's more on my plate than I have the appetite for Please don't tamper with my temper, I can't temper the sting Maybe tomorrow has some more patience to bring But, I don't want to think past tomorrow Since days are taken not borrowed I tried to move on from the past, since it is well past me But I catch fixation on what won't ever be again Oh-oh-oh-oh So, if there comes a day, you really won't walk away You know where I'll be, you know that I want you to stay (I want you to stay) I'll be right here, ready to welcome you, dear My arms will keep out all the future figures of fear Here I hold a makeshift fixture for a heart-aching blister Looking at ya 'cause you take home in my favorite pictures But I can't hold your hands, and I did watch you leave I hope it all means something different than what it seems I don't wanna think past tomorrow Since days are taken not borrowed I tried to move on from the past since it is well past me But I catch fixation on what won't ever be again I don't think past tomorrow, days are taken not borrowed I'm over the past 'cause it's past me and my sorrow There's not much give, nor elasticity, but yet, a malleable creature in uncertainty I don't think past tomorrow, days are taken not borrowed I'm over the past 'cause it's past me and my sorrow With love in our heart's and trust in our home The one we construct together to deconstruct how long I've felt alone A serpentine road awaits deep in my fate A fate that I can't deceive, a fate I will come to face Waiting for relief, a brief moment of ease Alleviating the grief from this world of disease The weight sits on my shoulders till it digs in my core And there's more on my plate than I have the appetite for Please don't tamper with my temper, I can't temper the sting Maybe tomorrow has some more patience to bring I don't wanna think past tomorrow Since days are taken not borrowed I tried to move on from the past since it is well past me But I catch fixation on what won't ever be again Here I hold a makeshift fixture for a heart-aching blister Looking at ya 'cause you take home in my favorite pictures But I can't hold your hands, and I did watch you leave I hope it all means something different than what it seems
