Five Points - Half Hearted Hero

A year alone: mistook the forest for the trees and a house for a home

A wandering mind swept out the romance from under my feet

Don’t leave behind comfort and knowledge for clouded minds

My soul’s an olive tree and I’ll be gnarled and twisted for centuries

Is this my nature?

Have I a greater cause outside these senses and laws?

Barbed wire fences and all, you’ve staked me to five points

My choice to break still remains

We humbled ourselves in scenic sanctuaries and took our place in the cliff-rock

face

To let god lay waste to whatever he may

But we failed to see he’s you and me, that corner of our brain we’ve yet to name

Don’t make it a big deal, these things will reveal themselves

Don’t fall to your knees, nobody’s watching you in your sleep
