Red Flags on the Horizon

To all the people you think you know

I thought I knew them too



To all the things you knew for you

I remember not remembering how to learn them



To all the lies that we've all been told

I know the truth is just on the horizon



To all the things you say so true

I see red flags telling me to look deeper



To all the words you write

All I see is another fight I cannot win



To all the battles you have already lost

I have lost a thousand more



To all the faces you show

They are all behind closed doors



To everything I thought to be so true

I see now what is really the truth



To your house from here

Is 8 hours away



To your thoughts and dreams

Are ten thousand more



To everything you want to let go

I have already gone that road



To the people in the past

I have left them in the dust long ago



To the places you go

I will never know



I will never know.

COnfusion is what this is, hot off the press, writtin 6-25-04.  This one is to the girls who think the know what they want when really what they want is what they once had.  Stop kidding yourselves and stop kidding me.  Just let go.
