The Road

I wake every morning to your cries and your screams

Then remember you followed me all night through my dreams

You've haunted me long, forever it seems

I'm drowning myself, will I ever be free?

I was running without seeing and got lost on the road

The one where your state of denial implodes

All the hurt that you've caused has been locked away, stowed

But here you will face every debt that you owe

I've lived by the road, on past sins dwelt

I've lingered there long, punishing myself

Thinking that all I deserved was this hell

Thinking that happiness should never be felt

The further you run down the road with no name

The deeper you'll dive into heartache and pain

But from sufferance in solitude, nothing you'll gain

Nor be released from shackles of blame

I had my eyes open, but now I can see

To make right what's wrong is to be set free

To fix what's broken is to transcend defeat

This is my atonement, pure as can be.
