On a road so dark and lonesome
Stretching off and out of sight
The sun has long since left me
Cold and weary in the night
Thoughts, so unrelenting
Of regrets I leave behind
As I ride to I don't know where
With my conscience as my guide
I stop upon a river
That I only know too well
Long-forgotten memories
Upon its hidden spell
Days of warmth and happiness
Such feelings long since gone
Memories left hanging
And I can't quite yet move on
Do you see the road I have to take?
Do you hear the promises I make?
Do you know that what is said is done?
Do you fear what I've become?
I look up, lost in thought
From my cold seat on the curb
At the bridge that almost took me
'Til I finally lost my nerve
A day I felt so empty
Feelings I remember still
Of heartbreak and betrayal
And the utter loss of will
Movin' to a place where
Scarred hearts were first entwined
Shadows drift around me
And I still can't seem to find
An answer that eludes me
From when it all went down in flames
Familiar wounds left bleeding
When a scarred heart rips again
Do you see the road I have to take?
Do you hear the promises I make?
Do you know that what is said is done?
Do you fear what I've become?
The cruelest lies in silence
The hardest truths in bold
The warmest heart's defiance
The hardest soul to scold
A necessary lesson
In the dark of life's display
A trust as thick as iron
Left outside to rust away
From a then I thought was different
To a now I should've seen
Wandering through the memories
To see what I can't glean
Warnings that I cast aside
And swept under the bed
Writings on the wall in blood
I didn't have to shed
Do you see the road I have to take?
Do you hear the promises I make?
Do you know that what is said is done?
Do you fear what I've become?
But I'll claw, 'til I rise to find a way
Then I'll crawl, 'til I find my feet again
Then I'll walk, 'til my strength returns to me
Then I'll run, I'll run, I'll run!
Do you see the road I have to take?
Do you hear the promises I make?
Do you know that what is said is done?
Do you fear what I've become?
Do you fear?
You should fear
Do you fear what I've become?
