lyrics

When you’re strung out on a thought that keeps haunting your head,

It’s four a.m. and you’re out of your bed with no direction to go,

No place to call your own

When you’re walking down the street with your back against the moon,

Not a care in the world you got nothing to do, so you roam

With nowhere to go



This feeling deep inside me, with nowhere to go, no place to call your own

But with the mile markers behind, exposing my soul, touching the world

Out on that road



Well I don’t remember when all of this started, the first breathe I took left me broken hearted

With thirst from birth and a road sick curse

I don’t know why I try so hard to weave the fodder and negative thought that a lot of us talk

We all walk that walk



See I’ve been cursed since my birth, to roam this here earth, singing my words

When the lines of the road lead home, I feel so all alone, with nowhere to go

But back on the road



When you wake up six to the sound of hard rain, it’s beating your soul and pounding your brain

You think to yourself I must be insane

When your float down the river of thought has run dry,

And you’re stuck in a rut just smiling at the sky and you think to yourself

This life is so strange



Before I go I need to be heard, I’m not a part of your herd, that’s just absurd

I’ll live eternal through the pen, a Shakespearean ascend

With no beginning or an end

So now the destination is known, the road is my home
