Altern-ate-

Sometimes I’m faced with things that seem unreal
Reality hits hard, no mercy here
The dreams I want are like cat paw prints
Sneaking up on me, catching me off guard

I’m feeling my way through, but
I can’t tell what’s right or wrong
Not right now

Even knowing there’s only cruel choices to make
If it’s for you, I’ll carry that weight
Singing along with the sound of desire
From now on, we’ll face it together as one

What I want to step into and achieve
The birds are drinking from the raw chair
At the place we reach, flowers await
Blooming wildly, waiting to fall and revive

What I’ve planted and gained
Is both right and wrong
The best of humanity

No one can stop the seeds of conflict now
I can only see vague clues
Even the fish hold their breath, searching for treasure
To walk the thorny path, we’ll be one

I’m not the star of this story
It hurts like a beard pulling at my skin
(She’s no longer here)
I’m not the star of this story
But I won’t run, I’ll step in
(I’m ready for it)

The mystery remains unsolved, I aim true
Bearing the burden of sin and morality
Aligning with the bear’s heavy fist
With this strength meant for you
I want to protect until the end, together as one.
