lyrics

on the older side of
autumn 2012
i took a trip all by myself

no fear just fun
i’m fit for a challenge
let’s see what happens


but my faith ran out
on a traprock mountain
about a thousand feet up

with the shadows creeping
from another afternoon
to another evening


oh i know that it won’t mind
one handle of the cliffside
to break off and bury me alive
caught underneath the landslide


but if i hold it just right
even out my weight
this will be my way out

fingers freezing
body moving slow
take a breath before i go

bittersweetness stinging
the corners of my jaw
i remember what i want

i savored that chill
in case the cold dark air
was the last thing that we’d ever share
