Crossroads

And so I’ve come to the crossroads

Time to stop, lay down my load,

And think about what to take with me

I don’t know what fate will bring

Or what songs I’ve yet to sing

But I know you won’t be with me

So light the fire, watch it burn

All those lessons we never learned

And please know that this ain’t gentle on my mind

No matter what you tell yourself

Justify your mental health

And try to ignore the blatant warning signs

Lay the ghosts to rest at last

And fill the arvels final glass

You’ll go your way and I’ll go mine

In the end I think it’s best

That I lay your ghost to rest

In the end you’re just another bitch to leave behind

The wind is blowing from the east

As my memories of you cease

And I close the book on your last page

And I don’t think it was worthwhile

When I sat and watched you smile

Knowing it was just another mask on your stage

So light the fire, watch it burn

All those lessons we never learned

And please know that this ain’t gentle on my mind

No matter what you tell yourself

Justify your mental health

And try to ignore the blatant warning signs

Lay the ghosts to rest at last

And fill the arvels final glass

You’ll go your way and I’ll go mine

In the end I think it’s best

That I lay your ghost to rest

In the end you’re just another bitch to leave behind

And I wish that I could say I wished you well

And I wish that I could make you understand

Why I am the way I am

But there’s nothing left inside that pretty shell
