Ambivalence

the knowing (the not knowing) the knowing
the aching (breaking)
the empty, the open
the hoping
almost but not quite
stuck at the intersection
praying for the back then
to save you from the right now
night time skating with your imperfections
past an avenue of broken dreamers
telling you to quiet down

lost trying to follow the meaning
found the weight of the world
and we ain't figured out how to feel about it
lost trying to follow the feeling
tell me this ain't all we meant to feel
tell me this ain't

all

the static, the red lights
the stop signs
couple u-turns, now you're up the wrong way
on a one-way street
trying to figure out where your mind left your feet
trying to figure out how you left you behind
torn between the hope and the fear, frozen in tears
your next step will rip you apart
