Setting Course

Tread forth, drawn out
With purpose
Sways through the crowd, how?
To survive day over days
Forgetting, miles relenting
Set course, from the fallout, a ruse the need to roam
Setting course, through the fallout, truth unseen leads home
Land rolls by, pace slows
Hours crawl, by, let’s go

Do Not Fret

Such as our worry, began
Everyday as we sit and wait
All that they know, a taste
Be afraid, don’t be afraid
So don’t you fret, there are better days, awaiting we
Won’t go, to the edge, that I have foreseen
Breaking, she went fast, strayed
She’d salivate, intimidate, all as she’d know
Fades, be afraid, don’t be afraid
So don’t you fret, there are better days, awaiting we
Won’t go, to the edge, that I have foreseen
So we’ll fight
Taking our time, away
Everyday, oh we’ll sit and wait
All as we’d known, ashamed
Be afraid, don’t be afraid

Won’t say how come
Straight back before long
Any fear left
For the one they’re taking on
It’s the one they’re taking on
Braces for more
Straight back forward
Oh to feel it
As the one they’re taking on
It’s the one they’re taking
Seething, shudder goodbyes
Heroes, take up the fight
Hear them, heavy breathing
It’s the one they’re taking on
Pushed from every end
Built for giving in
A move to breaking down and letting out
What you’ve dreaded
