Arriving Somewhere But Not Here

Never stop the car on a drive in the dark

Never look for the truth in your mother’s eyes

Never trust the sound of rain upon a river

Rushing through your ears

Arriving somewhere

But not here

Could you imagine the final sound as a gun

Or the smashing windscreen of a car?

Did you ever imagine the last thing you’d hear as you’re fading out

Was a song?

Arriving somewhere

But not here

All my designs

Simplified

And all of my plans

Compromised

And all of my dreams

Sacrificed

Ever had the feeling you’ve been here before?

Drinking down the poison the way you were taught

Ever thought from here on in your life begins

And all you knew was wrong?

Arriving somewhere

But not here

All my designs

Simplified

And all of my plans

Compromised

And all of my dreams

Did you see the redness block your part?

Did the scissors cut a way to your heart?

Did you feel the end before the sons of mothers

Tearing you apart?

Arriving somewhere

But not here
