I wish I hadn't spoken

[lady_ascendant]

Why'd I say anthing?
Now they're gonna know
Beause I spoke.
But maybe he'd know anyways...
Turning spokes...

Why'd I never say anything?
Now they're never gonna know.
I've denied.
But not survived.
Becasue I lied....(to myself)

Where's the fire escape?
Rusted out.
Looks safe but crumbles to dust.
Where's the safe place?
She's gone.
It's gone inside my unknown space.

Turning Spokes...
Turning Spokes...
Wheels are turning, rushing, spinning,
The Other's winning.
Winning the race I shouldn't have run.
Winning this race - and I'm done.

But...
No they haven't run
The space knows I don't need her.
She whispers you can free her.
They're not fleeing
They are seeing...
....cause they always have you just didn't know they did.

Turning Spokes...
Turning Spokes...
Wheels are turning, rushing, spinning,
The Other's winning.
Winning the race I shouldn't have run.
Winning this race - and I'm done.

Cog Dissident.
Like steel and flint.
Strike us. Unite us.
We ignite. Cannot fight...
Cannot fight the truth once I admit it...

So maybe I won't run away.
Stay to fight another day.
And let the race just fade away
Into memory...
Turning Spokes...

Resting Spokes...
Resting Spokes...
Wheels are holding, resting, leaning.
And me at rest I'm finally being.
Winning the race by not racing at all.
Winning this race by taking the fall.
