Yellow Mile

Tripped on my own two feet
Another walk down the yellow mile
I tried to hide my face
But truth is, I’m lost in space
Hold me close, help me see
The fault that lies was inside of me

I’m getting closer to the edge
(It only takes a while)
Help me see I’m not too late
(I didn’t want to walk this yellow mile)
Don’t try and save me from this fate
(It’s the only way)

See but don’t get close
It’s just me who has to climb this rope
Don’t ask why it’s this I chose
We’ll talk later, I promise I’ll have changed

I’m getting closer to the end
(Convicted in this trial)
Help me see I’m not too late
(I knew I had to walk this yellow mile)
Expose me to the blackened sky
(I’ll just wait for sunrise)
Don’t try to save me from this fate
(It’s the only way)

It’s not the time or place you know
It’s time for me to grow
It’s one more moment of this
And that and on and on
