Dead On My Heels

from Landings by Steven P Robinson

/

lyrics

Lay back down, eyes dart around,
Mind deceived by sound, every crackle you hear.
Seems like I've been walking for days,
Writhing sunlight piercing my shades.

But I'm feeling pretty good,
I'm wondering if I should allow myself this.
Now I'm feeling pretty low,
The moments they come they go,
I have nothing to show but rags and ruins.

Lay back down, eyes search around,
No-one to be found and I'm feeling alone,
A moment of clarity, a moment to feel free,
an epiphany they all escape me.

But I'm feeling pretty good,
I'm wondering if I should allow myself this.
Now I'm feeling pretty low,
The moments they come they go,
I have nothing to show but rags and ruins.

I'm finally dead on my heels,
I've no idea what this journey yields,
The shapes of the trees conform to every many fear I have.

I should have been watching my back,
I should have had a plan of attack,
I should have known something was amiss,
I should never have stolen a kiss.

I could have been so much more,
If I wasn't chained to the floor,
But those shackles are so entwined,
With the shackles in my mind.

Does life hold any more mystery for me?
Are there layers that I just can't see?
Silence assumes all that I do, as I make my way home to you.
