The Pain of Committment

No matter how far you run from the truth

you're always one step behind

you can chip away all day at the walls

they remain too high to climb

nothing weighs more than a promise

and you let your grip slip long ago

function faded and the passion dissolved

and your left to struggle alone

I see you're trying to avoid the deal

but it's there when you get back

just how far did you think you would get

before it all collapsed

anything but the pain of committment

and for once to follow through

effort tripped up assistance refused

blind to all now but your twisted view

hit the ground running was once the call

not it's "hit the sauce"

flow through at a steady crawl

I think despair has got too tight of a hold now

if I wanted to I couldn't reach to pull you out.
