Solid Ground

empty road, i’m facing north
engine cold, i’m off the shoulder
pack my things, and then I go
waving down the distant lifetimes
flashing in the headlights
it feels like i’m finally fading away
i’ve broken so much
i’ve broken so much
your heart’s in trouble
(i don’t know if we’ll make it)
when you stumble
(i don’t know if we’ll make it in time)
you felt it crumble
(i don’t know if we’ll make it)
you weren’t too careful
now you can’t find solid ground
i hitch a ride
on solace i hope is real
but i never feel it
a motel bed
shared with my dissonance
i blame it on a familiar stranger
i’m clutching at the remainder
it feels like my mechanism is failing
i’ve broken so much
i’ve broken so much
