Hauk - Crossroads

And so I’ve come to the crossroads
Time to stop, lay down my load,
And think about what to take with me
I don’t know what fate will bring
Or what songs I’ve yet to sing
But I know you won’t be with me

So light the fire, watch it burn
All those lessons we never learned
And please know that this ain’t gentle on my mind
No matter what you tell yourself
Justify your mental health
And try to ignore the blatant warning signs
Lay the ghosts to rest at last
And fill the arvels final glass
You’ll go your way and I’ll go mine
In the end I think it’s best
That I lay your ghost to rest
In the end you’re just another bitch to leave behind

The wind is blowing from the east
As my memories of you cease
And I close the book on your last page
And I don’t think it was worthwhile
When I sat and watched you smile
Knowing it was just another mask on your stage

So light the fire, watch it burn
All those lessons we never learned
And please know that this ain’t gentle on my mind
No matter what you tell yourself
Justify your mental health
And try to ignore the blatant warning signs
Lay the ghosts to rest at last
And fill the arvels final glass
You’ll go your way and I’ll go mine
In the end I think it’s best
That I lay your ghost to rest
In the end you’re just another bitch to leave behind

And I wish that I could say I wished you well
And I wish that I could make you understand
Why I am the way I am
But there’s nothing left inside that pretty shell
