Long Dark Roads

Verse I

I'm

Still there

Inside the walls

Of a private Hell

I used to call my home

I'm a broken boy

With no tomorrow

Caught in the undertow

Vulnerable

And crying for

A way to disappear

From

A raging monster

I could never shake

I could never face for years

Chorus

I'm still there

No matter where I go

On these long dark roads

No matter how far I go

I'm still on these long dark roads

Verse II

I'm

Still there

Low self-esteem

Inside the hallways

Crawling in my skin

Laughter

And loathing eyes

I hold my breath

As I'm drowning deep inside

I see the empty streets

The trail to Nowhere

The fields of buried bones

The corner

Of 13th

Where the Angels weep

Trading fragments of their souls

Ghost of suicide

Now come alive

I feel it in the air

Chorus

I'm still there

No matter where I go

On these long dark roads

No matter how far I go

I'm still on these long dark roads

Bridge

I'm in another place

(repeat in background)

Even in

The safety of your arms

I can still

Feel the danger

Even as

The sun is on my face

I'm frozen as my

Smile slips away

Even as

I fall in love

I can feel my heart breaking

Again

Chorus II

I'm running on these

Long, long, long

Dark

Roads

(repeat x2)

Outro

The power

In your words

Never died

How could you forget?

Time and place

Makes the wounds of living

Eternal
