Take a plane
Wander roads
Travelled by
Heavier feet
Jump on a train
To the nearest check point
Saddle up in a car
Cozy beside
Soon-to-be distant friends

Passionless
An absent heart
Where does the benefit lie
A victor of youth
Is the road better travelled
The one mapped out for you

Like that cheap fluorescent eye shadow
The one you wear too much of
That overwhelms your face...
Doesn't suit you well

Found an end to your means
A cul-de-sac
Leading you back to you
Never found the words
To the song your heart still sings
Never knew yourself

A shadow of the pillars around you
When the earth quakes
Fragile beams fall
Blistered, shattered and spent
The remains of legend
Sand amongst columns


A grain of salt
In the scheme of certainty
