'A Dark Road Uphill'

once there was a reason behind this motive
to forget about scissors with rusty hinges.
something beyond myself and all its red tape.
and i knawed at it for days before i realized
it was growing all the time
nothing outside of itself to doubt
nothing of which i could be without

because of this, it laughed at my cries
it scoffed off my attempts to dry these eyes

it was hard admitting that defeat wasn't fading away
until a spiral formed around my feet and asked me to stay

every body's moving on without knowing how it started.
they taught us how to manipulate the need for sympathy,
without giving anyone a battle cry to call their own.
now there's reason beyond these walls of gravel and pain
and it's growing all the time
nothing outside of itself to doubt
nothing of which we can be without
