Destiny Never Complies

Addicted to the past and what never can be

Seems to be a disease invented by me

God taught me a lesson I’m as still as I can be

One thing for certain you cannot get free,

All the toil in me and reflections on glass

And maybe one day this will all pass

My heart will be still to the very last

Some unknown mold already cast,

All that seemed to mean so much more

Fell by the wayside on an old floor

Convincing myself to walk out that door

Who knows what the future has in store,

I swear to you at this moment I don’t know anymore

All those hearts I ever loved were frozen to the core

All those illusions washed up on the shore

Reinforcing my suspicions, I must have been a bore,

So I sit here alone in this chair

Trying to convince myself that there’s still a future there

Watching as the wind put fingers through her hair

And I just stood there as if without a care,

You’ll be what you want to be right at the end

No need to feel sorry and you won’t have to pretend

There’s always the unknown just around the bend

And you never really know just who is your friend,

Pets seem to die much too fast

And it seems love never lasts

The painful way that human nature is cast

Always tormented by events of the past,

These are dark days my friend making me sigh

What happened to your wife? I don’t mean to pry

Oh now don’t let one tear escape from your eye

We all know that destiny never really complies.
