adder's fork - a farewell to expectations lyrics
when you force me to look inside myself
i decide to turn away
when you see me and when you’re near me
i’m all but certain that i will fail
these shoes seem too large to fill
like a dwarf in a giant’s trail
i was told i could be everything
now i’m like a clown on a funeral day
when you hold me, console me with your touch
my marrow screams in agony
when you caress me, you distress me
again i’m certain that i will fail
like a pilgrim on his last legs
on a station with a thousand rails
he missed the last train home
and then the tracks were swept away
for a farewell to expectations
you need to be on your knees
to destroy self-accusation
you don’t need a pious priest
for a farewell to expectations
you must survive the hardest ways
shake off the festered morals
and prepare for better days
when you force me to look inside myself
i decide to walk away
when you call me and when you’re near me
you do seem kind of frail
when you hold me, console me with your touch
my marrow suffers silently
when you caress me, you distress me
but after all, i might prevail
