The Aid

So you wanna take me away
from all that I ever knew
Then I find out I'm wrong
just when I'm trusting you
That just won't do
I just can't do
With you in my world again
Pain runs down my side and then
I fall to the floor
Because the truth is I'm home again
Being alone again
Never been more sure
You said we'd go away take me to a better day
You said you'd open gates take me to a better place
That just won't do
I just can't do
With you in my world again
Pain runs down my side and then
I fall to the floor
Because the truth is I'm home again
Being alone again
Never been more sure
You said we'd go away take me to a better day
That won't do
You said you'd open gates take me to a better place
That won't do
Pain down my side and then I fall to the floor
That won't do
Truth is I'm home again being so alone again
That won't do

Too Little Too Late

If you ever stop to think
of what we've never done
stillborn labors on the brink
sincerity we've shunned
Empty promises broken vows
implicit inaction we've allowed
Our time has come and passed away
chances faded day by day
Waited too long to make a move
now it's time to face the truth
Damage done
And no place left to hide
Can't run away this time
Like moths in a flame
like matchsticks done burning
for years we've sat mute
leaders unaccused
Missed every chance
to make amends for our mistakes
the only rapture is this one we've made
We could have changed
redirected all our rage
static creatures stuck in place
trying too little too late
Waited too long to make a move
now it's time to face the truth
Damage done
And no place left to hide
Can't run away this time
Too little
Too late
Waited too long to make a move
now it's time to face the truth
Damage done
And no place left to hide
Can't run away this time

I-78

Peering over a window
a two way radio in tiny hands
strapped tight in the back seat
while the road outside roars
Didn't see it coming
hidden round the bend
the last thing he'd feel
the calm before the crash
Shattered glass,
A screaming child.
Mangled metal, broken bones,
one removed unscathed.
A miracle they say
in a parent's hell
silence on the radio
Sit here, stay here
this child is told.
Not a scratch on him,
while the other son is cold
the only sounds responding
a father's torment
there wasn't any warning
Wish I could go back
to a time when you were fine
Wish I could roll back
that car in its lines
Wish I could go back
to a time when you were fine
