Serenity of solitude The bets I’ve made My fortunes few My fires lost I may never see the light of day Feel the pain flow through my veins A mental beast that can’t be tamed Just look through my eyes You’d be terrified Can’t escape Can’t run away My forward steps are taking me the other way If something is gonna help me It’s taking to damn long It’s myself against me That’s why I'm always wrong It’s clear to me I’ve lost all sanity Can’t escape Can’t run away My forward steps are taking me the other way Time changes nothing But the fact remains My forward steps are taking me the other way Been locked away inside a cage The struggles pointing straight to rage Beware the burdens you bear Haunting you everywhere Crept inside a sign of hope My thoughts have tied a fraying rope Chained down here to stay Left here to stay alone Can’t escape Can’t run away My forward steps are taking me the other way Time changes nothing But the fact remains My forward steps are taking me the other way I'm not looking for answers Cause I'm the one who drove me away And if I'm the kind who wanders Well maybe I’ll wander away
