After decades under thumb your dogma's iron-bound
And change unlikely to find you
But your creosote heart, so lovingly preserved,
Still, somehow, spurs you onward
You were unlucky to have begun this trek too far from it
And now must overcome doubts
As you back away, still unaware of your purpose
You're reaching for whatever finds you
You lost count of the days you've passed time feigning interest
In a world that's just not made for you
And your creosote, so living preserved,
Still, somehow, spurs you forward
You're old enough now to know just what you want and where you're going
And figure it out on your own
But the harshness of the world might be vast and ever-growing
Still, something must move you onward
