The Road Most Travelled
The Road Most Travelled
Like a nerve trapped in a shoulder
or a bird stuck in a cage,
Or a fly caught in a web
Oh my soul, it dreams of escape.
Somewhere beyond my inner walls
Beyond the lies and hate
Take me to my inner peace
Take, take me through the gate
Take me to the place
The place where I used to smile
The road most travelled,
is paved with self doubt
The demons in a troubled soul
Will drag you straight to hell
I look inside my subconcious
To find the things that I loathe
There must be more than the empty glass
Something more, something more to hold
Pain of frustration grew like a reservoir;
Boiling from within
Disappointments are stacking up
They keep the pressure up
I cannot find that place where I smile
The road most travelled,
is paved with self doubt
The demons in a troubled soul
Will drag you straight to hell
Somewhere beyond my inner walls
Beyond the lies and hate
Take me to my inner peace
Take, take me through the gate
Take me to the place
The place where I used to smile
The road most travelled,
is paved with self doubt
The demons in this troubled soul
Can drag itself back to hell
