(Chorus)
I’m on a road traveling south of here. It’s cold and bitter, but I can keep myself lit.
When I sacrifice nothing I don’t shed a tear. I Know it’s hard and lonely, but I’ve grown used to it.
Verse 1
Something’s got a hold of me like I’m gripped in a vice.
Where were you when my life became cold as ice?
Despite the rainstorms you came out alright.
So, why’s it now that you’re judging my fight?
Whether it’s right or wrong, I will decide my own fate.
Where were you the day I discovered I hate?
Don’t kill the ties that we have by telling me I’m wrong.
Or telling me I’m gone and making it evident what I’m on.
We had a bond, but I will never be like you.
Second chances, take two would have never crumbled on you.
I couldn’t pray enough for the made up stuff to be snuffed out and make room for truth,
Kindle a strong fire give me fresh desire so that I might start anew.
It’s not that I hate you. It’s that you don’t understand.
I’m lost in a world where no one reaches out their hand.
Everyone that comes to help thinks they know how to fix it.
But when all is humiliated they just state the facts and remix it.
Verse 2
You’ve had ample opportunity to get this anvil off me,
But as this negativity breaks levy pouring down on me
I can’t help but think how disgusting free was for me,
And even if I could go back would I want to see the same thing unhappily?
I was deceived left unbelieved cold shoulders and barren shores,
Surrounded mist distorted dreams tearing seams with no remorse.
And of course save my soul. You’ve always been the one to be so bold,
But I’m lost below, way out of reach no beach. I know you will not go.
So, I wish in conversation that you would’ve been on my level,
But my stomach won’t settle. What? You think you deserve a metal?
You tried to fix me before. You and that same Riddle.
Trying to trick and take my seed, but I wont dance to your fiddle.
I ain’t getting any better. I have to go it on my own.
So, I imagine mystically where I’ve created home.
Cause in this life what I’ve been shown forces me to go alone.
This past of mine, I don’t condone, because, it chills me to the bone.
Verse 3
If you think hard enough you will turn and run
When you realize how difficult my life has become.
It’s not about now, it’s all night and day.
They don’t flee or cease to see. Can you see them in the way?
A simple question I must collect, can you see them yes or no?
Then how do you expect that you will help me grow?
I can’t believe your trying to say all this isn’t real.
You won’t believe no privacy is exactly how I feel.
It must be real distilled in thought, but if you can’t see them then I guess not. Oh!
But you’re here now while I’m dealing with this … huh? That explains a lot.
Why are you trying to move me from this spot when I’ve got them in my shot?
Quit trying telling me it ain’t real when I’ve finally got them caught.
Why do you bring up God when he’s the one who led me here?
He’s the one making sense of this helping me to cripple fear.
He’s singed every tie to my heart to help me not shed a tear,
Grip the wheel know where to steer and travel way south of here.
