Destinations

[Verse: SOKO] It's just a temporary slide back in the abyss I shoulda seen it coming from miles away Open armed, in a thick coat of structure Shielding me from my own blades and dagger There was purpose on the horizon A destination, tangible and fragrant And I marched as I knew And I marched as I knew And I marched as I knew And I marched with a thousand It's not surprising I should find myself flailing Having crossed the bridge of certainty Back behind enemy lines with no work 'til Tuesday I didn't even buckle to temptation Guard down, with little to do I welcome old habits like a long, lost friend To spite you Egged on by weakened days Giving themselves up to the strengthening menace of darkness The shrinking hours of light are grey and feeble Soggy trees sigh, dropping their leaves in defeat The temperature falls The big lights switch on And from time to time, fireworks frighten the cats
