Lonely Road
Here I stand, staring at the sky with many questions, but no answers why.
Like why am I standing here all alone, forced to face these fears all on my own?
I was once told, i'd walk a lonely road, but I couldn't imagine how far this road could
truly go. But here I am, i'm still a walking man. I'm still walking man, through
this uncharted land.
Well I guess it's true what they say that this is not paradise.
Who am I to argue, I gotta take what I can take. Even though I
thought to end it all, I even thought about it twice, but I came
so far to end it with a choice that wasn't worth to make.
My momma told me when I was a young man "Don't ever beg
for nothing boy. This world is not about giving out any hands."
many years have passed and momma I finally know, what you
tried to tell me so long ago. I see my demons! They hide in society!
The're everywhere I see! I even feel them inside of me, but still I stay
upon this road that lies ahead. Until another lonely soul finds me here
lying dead..
Well I guess it's true what they say that this is not paradise.
Who am I to argue, I gotta take what I can take. Even though I
thought to end it all, I even thought about it twice, but I came
so far to end it with a choice that wasn't worth to make.
