Two Roads

(album: Poetic License - 2022)

I came across a forest of unfamiliar trees
And a path beyond the fork is, is calling out to me

I wouldn't dare
I wouldn't dare

There is magic in this moment, the rustling of the leaves
Do I give into the warning, give up stability?

I wouldn't dare
I wouldn't dare

But what if it is everything I wanted? (what if it is everything I wanted?)
Everything I said I didn't need (everything I need)
When I convinced myself of paradise from paintings
I'm better off because I never bleed

Two roads (two roads)

And I don't know the way,
No, I don't, I don't know the way
Past the unknown
If nothing else would change
No, if you promised nothing'd change

Then I would take the one less traveled by

Why have I been fearing an aching that will fade?
Must the sun have reason to make the seasons change?

I wouldn't dare
I wouldn't dare

'Cause I've built my life around the thought of landmines in the ground
Terrified to take a step, even more to make a sound

But now I am there
So send me a prayer

For everything I said I never wanted (everything I said I never wanted)
When I tried to make myself believe (make myself believe)
That I could pirate paradise from paintings
I look ahead now, all that I can see:

Two roads (two roads)

Oh, and I don't know the way,
No, I don't, I don't know the way
Past the unknown (unknown)
If nothing else would change
No, if you promised nothing'd change

Oh, I'll keep the first for another day
But knowing way leads on to way
I'm never looking back
No, I'm never looking back

Prayed into my pillowcase
Just dreaming of the sweet escape
I'm never looking back
No, I'm never coming back to

Two roads

If I don't find my way on my own
Then one day it will be too late
