Harvest

Casey Stratton

"Look how much has happened

In such a short time"

She says to him

One husband, one wife

Two kids, carpools and saturday rides

She says, "so why am I unhappy with my life?"



You race toward something

You don't know what you'll find

But you'll notice it

When you see it, you say

There must be more out there

Waiting silently

You know your place

But you hate it just the same

So leave before the harvest



She knows that everything seems all right

But surfaces can hide what's inside

He says,"I love you but I'm reflecting less light

Than when I was a child of the night"



You race toward something

You don't know what you'll find

But you'll notice it

When you see it, you say

There must be more out there

Waiting silently

You know your place

But you hate it just the same

So leave before the harvest

Say goodbye to your life



Complacency has wrapped you

Inside her sheet

You wish for something to come

And save you

But no one comes

You must take care of yourself

We all learn that

We all learn that
