[Verse 1]
I’ve sown words on fertile ground,
Watered them with sweat and tears,
Fertilized them with dead dreams,
They grew, flowered through the years.
[Chorus]
Alas, wisdom comes too late,
I’ve surrendered to my fate.
[Verse 2]
A rich harvest I have reaped,
Bushels full of dead, pressed leaves,
In ashes of dreams well steeped,
That others may thumb at ease.
[Verse 3]
They bring rewards and some joy,
Will survive me, many years,
And help others still to learn,
Comfort that, as my end nears.
[Chorus]
Alas, wisdom comes too late,
I’ve surrendered to my fate.
Wish fewer words I had sown,
Reaped fewer bushels of leaves,
Chosen to sow other seeds,
That into good souls would have grown.
In a heartbeat I’d exchange,
Bushels of books with my name,
For a daughter of my own,
To love, guide, support--ease my pain.
[Chorus]
Alas, wisdom comes too late,
I’ve surrendered to my fate.
[Bridge]
Choices cannot be undone,
Roads not taken beckon still,
Still, death for me holds no fears,
For dead leaves will shed no tears.

Trying to avoid the routes everyone else travels
I take remote side roads and superfluous detours
seeing sights unseen and grass that’s green
until gravelly roads are met by tired tires
breaking down in the middle of nowhere
with nobody around to help
I can see the freeway from here
where cars flock together
while getting to where they want to go.

Robbing Peter
paying Paul
emotional charades
living high, above it all
ethics morals, fade
Above survival
no fears or rivals
godlike unto Id
answering the horn that calls
and everything we did
Closing bell
strait too hell
deeds as chains that bind
knowing the final fall
in body soul
and mind

Traveled many roads
Every direction I walk
Leads back to your arms

Gave me life I didn’t ask for
you that traveled so long
felt like I knew those eyes in a dream
m-made it in
oh, get what you hope, that’s all
oh, get what you hope, that all?
you that traveled so long
you that traveled so long
you that traveled, so long
so long

I chose
the road
less traveled
and you probably
don't know
what to do
forgive me
it is such
a wonderful
place to be

I don't know where I've come from....
I don't know where I'm going....
"Keep going! And don't stop!"
Says the only voice I hear.

I wish I could give you this beautiful pain
Its captivating to endure
To watch it unfold inch by unbeatable inch
Its long
Makes you hard and callous
And makes you grovel in gravel begging for the end
And it becomes a road
A winding, twisting road that wraps around your throat
A gorgeous asphyxiation blurs the smiles of the passengers in the cars on the asphalt
And you blur into unreality
The road ends
The film in your head stops
And your left sitting unblinkingly...
