Where You're Going

A sudden violation
Of your expectation
Threw your situation
Into chaos and despair

You blinked away the warnings
That met you every morning
Now a hard day’s dawning
In the terrifying air

And there’s no definition
No chemical prescription
To convince you that it’s all just like
It was before you crashed

Stranded and abandoned
Better find yourself a friend
‘Cause there ain’t no one who’s not got lost
And had to start all over again

Is something nagging at you
Always staring at you
Creeping up to catch you
When you turn your back?

Have you heard a murmur
That could urge you further
Through a curve to turn you
Through this twisted wreck?

And there’s no light to guide you
No map to provide you
The route down the road ‘cause the road is your own
And your rolling all alone

But all your steps are echoes
Of the steps of all of those
Finding their feet on the tangling streets
That you meet when you keep on wand’ring down that road

Do choruses of noises
Full of broken voices
Cover over choices
That might melt them into moans?

In our random candor
Is there any chance for
A sudden subtle answer
To what we need to know?

And there’s no big club to love you
No sure star above you
To show where to go when you don’t know the hole
In your soul is a hole in the air

A tunnel through the terror
An arrow through the error
A pause in the noise that can point to a choice
That can get you where you’re going anywhere
