Destinations

It's just a temporary slide back in the abyss
 I shoulda seen it comin' from miles away
 Open armed, in a thick coat of structure
 Shieldin' me from my own blades and dagger
 There was purpose on the horizon
 A destination, tangible and fragrant
 ♪
 And I marched as I knew
 And I marched as I knew
 And I marched as I knew
 And I marched with a thousand
 ♪
 It's not surprisin' I should find myself flailin'
 Havin' crossed the bridge of certainty
 Back behind enemy lines with no work 'til Tuesday
 I didn't even buckle to temptation
 Guard down, with little to do I welcome old habits
 Like a long-lost friend, to spite you
 Egged on by weakened days
 Givin' themselves up to the strengthenin' menace of darkness
 The shrinkin' hours of light are gray and feeble
 The soggy trees sigh, droppin' their leaves in defeat
 The temperature falls, the big lights switch on
 And from time to time, fireworks frighten the cats
