Kaitlyn Zittel - Embark

Don't you know the path you've been given
Tell me dear, why do you fret
We are all misguided missiles
Stray no matter which way we first went

So tear up the floor boards
Termites eat away at your heart
Pull on the curtains
Let light shine into the dark
We can't take back what we said
Lies weigh heavy on my chest
I pray to God that we forget
But our motives now lie bent

Why do you chase your running shadow
Circles never made much sense
No matter how long you keep looking
You don't know where it starts or where it ends

So won't you be my sweet lover
I'm sick of love that's just an act
Won't you let me love my lover
Won't you love your lover back

Refill your drawer
I'll disprove love with common sense
Take back your keys
Feelings don't make love you need emotions
I will not give my consent
Love's a poison with no end
All my hope in it's been spent
And I will not soon forget

Why do you treat your heart with contempt
Does your will betray your mind
Have you ever tried to break free
Or are our fates all sealed in time

So tear off your flesh and lies
Let your dry bones speak what's right
No harvest where you go
You cannot reap what you've not sown
We cannot make our escape
Night has come to take the day
All our bridges seem to break
And there's no key to our chains

Don't you know what you've been given
Tell me dear, why do you weep
You're worth more than precious gemstones
Still there's nightmares when you sleep

So open your eyes
Let your vision be your sight
Cut off your mind
Thoughts can block what lies behind
You can't let them take what's our
Love is sailing without charts
We might drown following our hearts
But on this journey I embark
