lyrics

I'm growing old from this road that I roam
To this place I call home I've been told
To stay gold and to shoulder this load as it takes its toll
For once in my life I don't feel so alone
I'm just on my own and right down to the bone
While it's calloused and cold, it's perfectly fine
I'm doing my best as I walk this line

Mind ahead of my feet, now I'm running in place
All that I had is now falling away
Yet there's only so much that will break
With each mile I conquer, there's more in its wake
All I need is a change, of scenery and pace
This world is too big to just think of your face
Maybe in time that will change
But for now I'll just sit here and wait

I've been stuck in a space, where all that I face
Seems rigid and worn and steadfast in its place
No matter the reason my mind will race
And fill up each corner of empty space
Oh this story so far is one of regret
And one of remembrance that I won't forget
As I spoke more I found I did less to repair what was broken
And left of the mess

Mind ahead of my feet, now I'm running in place
All that I had is now falling away
Yet there's only so much that will break
With each mile I conquer, there's more in its wake
All I need is a change, of scenery and pace
This world is too big to just think of your face
So no matter how long it will take
I will wait, I will wait

If there's one thing I've learned after all of these months
I can write a sad song and be happy for once
So through teeth clenching winds and the breath off your lips
I hope you can see that I'm better from all of this

You were cigarette smoke in my lungs
As bad as you were, I just couldn't get enough
Now there's cancer in place of what used to be love
So my heart is as dead as the ocean is rough
