Send Me to the End

dim the lights
and let the candles live
you and i
and nothing more to give
i’ve been stagnant
dwelling all alone
covering the cornerstone
send me to the end
i won’t look back again
turn myself to salt among the sand
send me to the end
with open arms and nails in hand
even if they never understand
send me to the end
swallow pride
and push myself aside
break the tide
pray it does it’s worst
i’ve been complacent
satisfied with pavement
founded with no room to grow
dim the lights
and let the fire burn my eyes
'til i see a face the darker world denies
