Forked Paths

[Verse 1: Heather Alden]
Forked paths
Here we say farewell
Tine lines
Always parallel

Ground swells
Drag me to the light
Nerve cells
Pullulating life

[Chorus: R. John Williams]
Why should time
Be so on its own?
Why fly over the unknowns?
Why is now
The only thing we'll ever really own?

Why should I never feel at home?
Why climb valleys full of bones?
Why is now
The only thing we'll ever really know?

[Verse 2: Heather Alden & R. John Williams]
Loopholes
Opening the way
Thresholds
Turning over days

[Chorus: Heather Alden & R. John Williams]
Why should time
Be so on its own?
Why fly over the unknowns?
Why is now
The only thing we'll ever really own?
Why should I never feel at home?
Why climb valleys full of bones?
Why is now
The only thing we'll ever really know?
