Within the Pale
Discovering Life's Path Amidst Uncertainty
Lyrics
The world quits spinning where lives intersect
The world pauses at points where lives intersect.
In an uneasy quiet
At such moments, there is an uneasy silence.
You call out a name because you'll never know
Calling out a name is an attempt to discover something unknown.
Until you try it
Trying is necessary to know the outcome.
Hasten the cold light of day
Rush towards the harsh reality of daylight.
You've got it coming
Consequences are inevitable, and one deserves them.
The feeling subsiding the spirit succumbing
The emotional intensity decreases, and the spirit gives in.
Can you see where you're supposed to be
Questioning if one can perceive their intended destination.
Within the pale
Striving to be within the acceptable limits or norms.
No one to show you beyond the veil
There is no one to guide you beyond the mysterious or hidden.
With your arms 'round another could you see
When holding someone else, can you recognize your true place?
Where you're supposed to be
Identifying where one should be in that particular moment.
Anxious and reeling eyes fixed on the ceiling
Feeling anxious and overwhelmed, gaze fixed upwards.
You know that you've not seen it all
Awareness that there's more to experience in life.
One day you woke tied to a bed
Recalling a moment of awakening while restrained.
Shadows dancing in the hall
Perceiving shadows moving in the corridor.
Eyes on you
Being observed or scrutinized by others.
Don't let go
Hold on despite challenges and uncertainties.
How you're alive and breathing
Reflecting on the miracle of being alive and breathing.
The heavens only know
Acknowledging the unknown forces that determine life.
Can you see where you're supposed to be
Questioning if one can recognize their intended destination.
Within the pale
Striving to be within the acceptable limits or norms.
No one to show you beyond the veil
There is no one to guide you beyond the mysterious or hidden.
With your arms 'round another could you see
When holding someone else, can you recognize your true place?
Where you're supposed to be
Identifying where one should be in that particular moment.
