Canyon

roaming the mountains and the desert floor sun high over head i've been here before seeking the answers to the quandaries that plague me no solutions forth coming my resolve diminishing and i shout in the canyon the question "WHY" and the echo that returns is "the promises were lies" the things that you did and the things that you said keep ricocheting around inside of my head my steps are unsteady did i stray from the path thirsting for answers before i can go back and i shout in the canyon the question "WHY" and the echo that returns is "the promises were lies" the weariness is coming i stumble and fall nothing to grab hold of there's no help at all my direction now falters which way should i go praying for guidance praying to know and i shout in the canyon the question "WHY" and the echo that returns is "the promises were lies" heaven betrayed me hell opens it's door redemption can't find me on this desert floor i've burned all my bridges and hell's flames scorch at me there's just no way back none that i'll ever see and i shout in the canyon the question "WHY" and the echo that returns is "the promises were lies"
