The Wanderer



Living, breathing, existing in this place
Feels like running my hands through your hair

Cold, dead, broken, dry
My life is stale, like the conversations we carry

Impatient, arrogant, exiled, alone
Like a new pair of shoes, your words cut into me
Every time I get closer to what I want, you're there

Quietly, you watch and wait
Stoically, you sit and stare
Unknowingly, you drag me back
Eerily, your smile's not there

Radical change and warnings of ruin
The taste of blood has lingered long enough
And believe it or not, I actually give a damn 

The world is too big; life’s too short 
Doubt, pity, defeatism all end today
                       
Darkness in front of me and mountain air at my back
It feels good to be alive. It feels good to be free
