Moving Forward

Just killed a dream I fooled myself
Into believing had some substance
Just drilled it home that I cannot
Take the path of most resistance
Just spilled another errant tear
For such protracted persistence

Moving forward isn't quite easy
Moving backwards doesn't help
Moving sideways might skirt debris
But it catches up to you eventually

Just killed a dream I fooled myself
Into believing had some substance
Just drilled it home that I cannot
Take the path of most resistance
Just spilled another errant tear
For such protracted persistence

Just held another memorial for
Someone I loved deeply rooted
Just smiled another fraudulent smile
Knowing the facade isn't well-suited
Now I'm trying to exorcise the ghost
The very type that appears the most

Moving forward isn't quite easy
Moving backwards doesn't help
Moving sideways might skirt debris
But it catches up to you eventually

Moving somewhere beyond this mess
Moving somewhere beyond the stress
Moving somewhere that won't cripple me
Moving forward instead of staying stationary


Just killed a dream I fooled myself
Into believing had some substance
Just drilled it home that I cannot
Take the path of most resistance
Just spilled another errant tear
For such protracted persistence

Moving forward is difficult as hell
It's something I've never done well
Moving sideways may very well skirt debris
But it always catches up to me, eventually
