lyrics

As a child
I would dream
before my sleep.
It brought to life
a better time, a vision
of where to begin down

This darkened path that
hides beneath the growth.
Each day a changing shape
now clearer as we go…

Hiding as the daylight breaks.
Keeping in mind
all the first times
I clenched my fist
scraped a knee
I turned around
I changed my mind
I fell in love
I fell behind
in spite of all that called me down

This daunting path compels me
to fulfill my mold.
Sinking further quicksand
I reach for a stone
[to take me away]

So it goes
My love for this world.
I’m left with this itch in my mind
and I can’t seem to scratch
what’s inside
This turmoil is soiled
so I’m turning the page.
I’m standing at the gates
and I can’ wait to find
what’s inside

The desert floor
I’ve felt before
shake beneath my feet.
The ground that breaks
through the heat that bakes
I’ll let my ego drag me down

This haunting past compels me
to fulfill my mold.
Kicking, grasping in quicksand
I reach for a stone
[to take me away]]

So it goes
My love for this world.
I’m left with this itch in my mind
and I can’t seem to scratch
what’s inside
This turmoil is soiled
so I’m turning the page.
I’m standing at the gates
and I can’ wait to find
what’s inside
