"Two Roads," off my debut EP "Poetic License," is, unsurprisingly, about arriving at a crossroads in life. This song was inspired by my favorite poem, "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. It asks a question I have found myself pondering quite a bit these last couple of years -- do you take the safe route, or the one less travelled by?

LYRICS:
I came across a forest of unfamiliar trees
And a path beyond the fork is, is calling out to me

I wouldn't dare (x2)

There's magic in this moment, the rustling of the leaves
Do I give into the warning, give up stability?

I wouldn't dare (x2)

But what if it is everything I wanted? (what if it is everything I wanted?)
What if it is everything I need? (everything I need)
When I convinced myself of paradise from paintings,
I'm better off because I never bleed,

Two roads (two roads),
And I don't know the way,
No, I don't, I don't know the way
Past the unknown (unknown),
If nothing else would change,
No, if you promised nothing'd change,

Then I would take the one less travelled by

Why have I been fearing an aching that will fade?
Must the sun have reason to make the seasons change?

I wouldn't dare (x2)

'Cause I've built my life around the thought of landmines in the ground,
Terrified to take a step, even more to make a sound

But now I am there,
So send me a prayer

For everything I said I never wanted (everything I said I never wanted)
When I tried to make myself believe (make myself believe)
That I could pirate paradise from paintings,
I look ahead now, all that I can see:

Two roads (two roads),
Oh, and I don't know the way,
No, I don't, I don't know the way
Past the unknown (unknown),
If nothing else would change,
No, if you promised nothing'd change,

Oh, I'll keep the first for another day,
But knowing way leads on to way,
I'm never looking back,
No, I'm never looking back

Prayed into my pillowcase,
Just dreaming of the sweet escape,
I'm never looking back,
No, I'm never going back to

Two roads,
If I don't find my way on my own,
Then one day it will be too late
