Lyrics
The shortest distance
Between two points
Is a straight line
I feel sometimes
I have devoured
Those miles
Without deviation
Without hesitation
Without the merest hint
The tiniest wink
Towards temptation
So fast have I travelled
There has been no time
To unravel
That other DNA
That pupal carapace
The evolutionary skew
That grew
Regardless of
Desire or age
So
I will slow
Step out
Gaze about
Recall the times I have
Left this trail
To unknowingly pursue
The new
And discovered
You
I should have stopped
To feel the earth
Beneath my feet
Or sift the freshness of
The air
Like wine
Between my teeth
To let cold frosty dawn embrace
My ruddy face
To hold the chips and scars
In high regard
And wonder in amazement
At the
Monumental failures
At how each and every
Blessed curse
Was never less for
Being worse
But was honey for
The hungry soul
It is only now
As I begin
To run out of road
That I am forced against my will
To realise
To know
That this was a finite trip
That every hard
Yard was rife
With consequence
Experience
That my blindness to oblivion
Defined the colours of my life
So
I will slow
Step out
Gaze about
Recall the times I have
Left this trail
To unknowingly pursue
The new
And discovered
You
If by journey's end
I can recall
Each enemy
Each love
Each friend
Then they were miles well-covered;
It was time well-spent
I was never simply me
Alone
I am everyone I've ever known
