More fork-stabbing inducing music…

This one from Carbon Leaf – Paloma:

Chase the high ground – where you’d rather be
where you might be found
Face all aglow, to leave from here
to pack up and go
But it takes some time to get away
And you will have to build from what remains.
To run it takes the courage of a lamb
To love, the fierceness of a storm

Paloma you wonder if you’ll miss the thunder
And everyone’s staring but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap…and you’re free

Chase the higher ground – where you’d rather be
Where you might be found
This move may erase the troubles in your head
Or expose the absence of your soul

And so, it takes some time to get away
And you will have to tear down what remains
And I can’t stand for goodbyes
So hold on to me, or lead the way

Paloma you wonder if you’ll miss the thunder
And everyone’s staring but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap…and you’re free

Pace yourself when outrunning fear
Take cover when it’s dark
And keep an even keel
In your world you’re only a phone away
But in my world you’re too far to feel
And it may take some time to learn what’s real
And you may have to beg and borrow
And you will surely steal
Remember all those lonely sessions
Turned into yesterday’s lessons
To never forget love. To never forget love

Paloma you wonder if you’ll miss the thunder
And everyone’s staring but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap…and you’re free

Paloma you cry out you beg for connection
The dreams you seek are straight ahead in every direction
Now you’re free
Now that you’re free
Now that you’re free
You’re free

ETA: I felt that I should add a brief explanation as to why this is here. While it has nothing to do with my current mood, it does fit in with a certain theme I have in mind right now. It’s time for me to do some writing, purge some inner demons. And I’m going to start with a soundtrack.
