When I Was Idle

Idle was the inside, beaten was my path

That weather turned so quick

I could feel the outcome bearing on my tracks

I wasn’t ready for it

I wasn’t ready for it

So I had to pace myself

Stagger what was left with vigilance

And think of somewhere else

To satiate my mind

To focus on a point

I thought I’d left behind

These, the hours I was left

The moments at my side

They said would never last

But still I had to try, try

You know I had to try

We don’t want your enemies

Save that trouble for yourself

It’s us and no one else in our own story
