I Am Crossing

I am lonesome And ready to ride I am crossing To the other side Say a prayer Cause I’m not there I’m pushing care Into empty air I have found A place to hide I am crossing And ready to ride Think of me Dangling from a tree Pretending I’m dead In over my head I am ether Windy and wide I am crossing Without a guide I see the lights From the high school prom Sitting in a corner With my sister and mom I am dancing Disco and slide I am crossing To the devil’s side Wedding vows Did not last Distant children Grew up fast Ego trips Question marks Game of thrones Pool of sharks Getting old Walking slow Only one more Place to go I cashed my check From the job I quit Happy to leave I got so tired of it Nights staying drunk Days satisfied I am crossing Where nothing’s denied Looks like me Sleeping in a box Small crowd peeking At watches and clocks Oh Lord Jesus I heard what they said That fool in the box Is laid out and dead I am drifting Through a light unlit I am crossing Into eternity’s pit
