One Degree Down

no sense in admitting I’m weary from the wait

no sense in pretending that

I’m pressing on the gate

no power in a promise that I can find the cause

all it takes are a few mistakes

so how can I be sure



what if I fall, what happens next

what if my foundation was a thought out of

context

no power in a process that leaves me in the dark

so I’ll just go with what I know

it’s written on my heart



but thought it’s late in the day



I know I’ll find my way soon

show me a place in the sun

cause somewhere on the journey

is the strength to go on

so let the dark fade

show me a break in the cloud

cause every day I’m waiting

brings me one degree down



no shame in admitting I feel a little scared

no sense in pretending that

I’ll know before I’m there

no power in a promise with no authority

all it takes are a few mistakes before

I’m lost at sea



I feel this inclination

leading me to doubt my destination

I used up all my patience all the time

I waited at the station



I don’t want to break the sky

I’m not going to come back down

I don’t want to lose my mind

I’m too far gone to turn back now



I can’t avoid the feeling maybe all the signs could be misleading

with all my senses reeling when I saw my dreams all hit the ceiling



no need for reflecting on why it took so long

no need for rejecting this road I’m walking on

no point reminiscing on things I can’t repair

all it takes a few good breaks and suddenly

I’m there
