Gone For Awhile
He's been gone for awhile, you can tell by his tracks
If he sticks to that path, there will be no turning back
Plunged into this journey without checking the maps
A little further each time he drains this rig of it's gas
Faster-n-faster once you pass the speed bumps
Every missed opportunity, evident by the lumps
The machine breaking down with the more fuel that it pumps
Why stay grounded when you can soar with the jumps
Life is a journey, there's no destination
Rushing to get nowhere, and still we keep racing
Life through this metal tunnel, steady just wasting
Never seem to run out of fuel, lower gas prices were chasing
I packed this vehicle with all the *****I swapped for my hope
I gladly tear a new hole right after I tie off this rope
I plundge away all my pain, so with life I can cope
It's a runaway rig pack plum full of this dope
