Where the Pavement Meets the Road

You take your shots and then you’re out the door.
I want out.
You draw my blood and then you’re out for more.
I want out.
This may not come as a surprise,
but I own you
I don’t want to let you down.
It isn’t safe to seek your crown.
if I can’t be a fallen soldier in your war.
You can’t trade your servants clothes
for the secrets I can’t show
where the pavement meets the road.
A prisoner within your broken smile.
I want out
This cage won’t hold without your burning eyes.
I want out
This may not come as a surprise
but I own you
I don’t want to let you down.
It isn’t safe to seek your crown.
if I can’t be a fallen soldier in your war.
You can’t trade your servants clothes
for the secrets I can’t show
where the pavement meets the road.
Better to seek you than to defeat you.
All my horrors
settled you down
By the light of the maker’s storm.
I don’t want to let you down.
It isn’t safe to seek your crown.
if I can’t be a fallen soldier in your war.
You can’t trade your servants clothes
for the secrets I can’t show
where the pavement meets the road.
