Can't Help But Wonder

Skipping every other step down
An inertia carried southbound
On a train back home to you
Felt a power in the stillness
And a critical resilience
A pushback overdue

It doesn't have an address
It changes with the context
The future stares you down and you stare right back and say:

And i can't help but wonder
If the light that we're losing
Comes from the cracks in the logic
I've been leaning on for years

I learned that every new footprint
Of every new development
Will displace something else

In a garden made of mirror and ceramic
East midwest to mid-Atlantic
Framed in grout and concrete and
Gifted like a travel souvenir

So when i spin around
And look for validation
Remind me that the inches i'm losing
Off of massive fields of space are well-deserved.

And i can't help but wonder
If the light we're losing
Comes from the cracks in the logic
I've been leaning on for years

And i can't help but wonder
If the light we're losing
Comes from the cracks in the logic
I've been leaning on

And i can't help but wonder
If the light we're losing
Comes from the cracks in the logic
I've been leaning on
I've been leaning on
