U Turn

Looking through a window
Not surprised at what i see
Reminded of the reason
That my past has followed me
Decisions came real easy
In my youth i looked ahead
I had no fear attached to me
They followed as i lead

You see it coming everywhere you turn
The fire and smoke of bridges burned
Instincts you ignore at the time
You thought this through
Don't act surprised

Never even noticed
All the problems that occur
Way too busy laughing
I thought death was just a word
Now my mind is reeling
News around the world
Everyone's a lyric
Every song i've ever heard

You see it coming everywhere you turn
The fire and smoke of bridges burned
Instincts you ignore at the time
You thought this through
Don't act surprised

I can still remember
What it means to be free
Walked around with no concern
Explosive energy
Now the voice is haunting
And it rings inside my head
Walked among the living
Now i walk among the dead

You see it coming everywhere you turn
The fire and smoke of bridges burned
Instincts you ignore at the time
You thought this through
Don't act surprised
