River Runner - Chalkdust Lyrics

I don't really think I'm ready for that
The arbitrator's set to measure out a counter attack
This is a wasteland waiting on the pressure to crack
The detonator's sittin' pretty as a matter of fact, oh no
I don't wanna wait till the coast is clear
The territory isn't the map
Internal armageddon all the nerves have threatened to snap
The hesitation, I guess I should just follow the sound
Of elevation until my feet touch the ground, oh no
Turn off all the lights till the coast is clear

I am the only one who knows this
I am the only one who tries

This is one for the taking
Everything in front of us is breaking
My mind is forsaken
Look at this wasteland
Searching for some hope or are we fakin'
I can never know if I'm the one who's mistaken
Forever consumed in all my fears
Cause I'm over this shit
The arbitrator's taken everything I know forget it
I am the only one but I'm not ready for the answers to come

I am the only one who knows this
I am the only one who tries

Cause there's all this insecurity I'm strugglin' with the purity alone
It's the poverty of noble thought so write it down or just forget it all
I'm Mr. Wind-Up Bird finding my way through the well wall
Into no-man's land there's no plan so let's just hold hands
And we could muse about the friendly things that we would do if we were back home
