Triumph and Disaster

from Doubtful Sound by Vanderlay

lyrics

Mapping the stars and you’re scarring the land, you're not scared anymore
Caught in your path, lines you tied to your past, you cut loose of them all

Fear will take hold in your soul
Tighten its grip as you grow
But you may never know
For its shrouded and slow

Caught in your throat, scant provisional hope, now your foots in the door
Quick to expose haunts of childhood ghosts who put thorns in your thoughts

Fear that the night never comes
Or will never end if it does
And we’ll all be undone
And every failure’s hard won

So splayed out in the light you try define it
The ruse of the writer
Triumph and disaster

But you resurrected all the fear and rejection, and only you know why
Time interjected, cleared the room, forced perspective, and only you know why
