The Road of Life

Somewhere on this road of life I got lost in the fog of my perceptions I’ve been constantly misguided By my own map of deceptions Fueled by a hunger for answers And an endless curiosity I swore no roadblocks could stop me When driving at this mental velocity Yet as I try to remember the directions That were never made I feel like just another fool Searching for shadows in the shade It’s no wonder I’m eager to live tomorrow Without ever living today But how will I ever get there Without ever knowing the way? And as I see the bridges of my past Burning in my rear view mirror I’m tormented by doubt As my unknown destination draws nearer When will these headlights of hope No longer be essential? When will I bask in the eternal sunshine Of tomorrow’s potential? Perhaps it’s time I stop blinding myself Of the truth before my eyes Before this wicked masquerade Becomes my ultimate demise Yes, it’s time to accept the truth The scenery was all just a mirage Because whether I realize it or not I never even left the garage
