It's just a temporary slide back in the abyss I should have seen it coming from miles away And've been armed in a thick coated structure Shielding me from my own blazing 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 flaying Having crossed the bridge of certainty Back behind enemy lines with no work 'til tuesday I didn't even buckle the temptation Got down with little to do and welcoming old habits like a long lost friend To spite you Egged on, by weakening days Giving themself up to the strings of a menacing darkness The shrinking hours of life are grey and feeble The soggy tree inside driving at ease in defeat The temperature falls The big light switch on And from time to time fireworks frighten the cats
