The Constant

Miles Away

Face the ever present problem, ongoing mistake
Way I choose to be, alone
Conscious decision, a way to dodge commitment
The space that I have chosen ‘til now, for now

I spend my days hiding in the dark
Afraid of outcomes not offered to me
Think of what is right, every minor detail over again, back and forth
And I will face this on my own
And I will face this all alone

And day by day I try to break away
From what I’ve come to know and how I’m set to think
This is the constant guiding me, the only constant I can see
And I will wait alone, that’s where I’ll be
I’ve got to face it on my own.
