INTO THE WILDERNESS

into the wilderness

how did it come to this

had this always been our fate?

how did we not see it coming?

 

she was up in the bedroom

I was down in the mines

digging for diamonds

with nothing to find

only a place to hide

 

I didn't want

to be the one

to walk away

didn’t I try

so many times

we tried to start

over again

didn’t we try

didn’t we try

 

seeking for shelter

shivering soul

what began with ardent hope

ends in detached resignation

whatever happens nobody wins

strip away the delusion

and what are you left with?

disillusionment

 

I didn’t want

to be the one

to walk away

didn’t I try

so many times

we tried to start

over again

didn’t we try

didn’t we try

 

willingly ventured

nothing gained

the silence remains

convinced that love won’t come again

I know I’ll be okay

eventually

 

lie low in the shadows

gather up your courage

it won’t be long

break free from the gallows

a new day awaits with every dawn

 

one step further from hurt

one breath closer to life

hard won moments of peace

amid the constant strife

 

you can go it alone

you don’t need anyone

you can be anyone

you can go it alone

you can go anywhere

you don’t need anyone
