this is the reroute 2015

THIS IS THE REROUTE
THE RUT FOR THE RAM
NOT LIKE A DODGE 
WHERE YOU GOT
ALL YOU CAN

THIS IS THE REROUTE
LIKE A YEAR FOR A SCORE
A WANDER NOT REACHING
FOR A HEART TO WANT MORE

THIS IS THE REROUTE 
A MOVE FOR A MESS
LIKE  A MISS
YET THE SCENE ON
THE TURNPIKE'S 
LIKE A VIEW THAT'S 
A KISS

THIS IS THE REROUTE
NOT A DRIFT FOR A SEEMS
MORE LIKE A JOKE FOR
A JOURNEY THAT 
LEAVES BEHIND DREAMS

THIS IS THE REROUTE
MORE A CAUSE A CONCERN 
LIKE  DIESEL THAT'S
BURNING IN YOUR HEART
THAT STILL YEARNS

THIS THE REROUTE 
A RETURN FOR A REST
FOR THE GUIDE AND
THE GUARANTEE 
OF SOMEONE WHO KNEW WHAT
WAS BEST

THIS IS THE REROUTE 
THE END FOR A SCORE
THE HEART GETS 
THE BEAUTY OF 
THE LOVE THAT 
WAS MORE

THIS IS MY REROUTE 
MY TELL OF  NO CARES 
THAT SHOULD COST
THAT MY HIGHWAYS 
MY BYWAYS WERE NOT
FOR SOMEONE WHO'S LOST
