Roads

On this highway, heading straight to hell
I felt the burden of a thousand souls lost at sea
The weight of a million anchors held me down like roots so strong...
Stuck in sand but I'll carry on
Scared of nothing
But I fear myself
My demons haunt me
Sometimes I feel like I could kill
If I feel far from empty does that even make me full?
Searching for answers
Chasing after truth

And it's never easy
To let it go in the beginning
But I know I'm only drowning
In the constant shadow of a light that used to glow strong

I've tried so hard to keep this flame alive
God, save me now because I'm storing hatred in my eyes
The taste of blood in my mouth is sour...
The smell of defeat reeks of my darkest hours...

And I know my flaws
I know my strengths
I've carried mighty burdens that felt like heavy weights
There's much more to this life I know
There wouldn't be a road if there was nowhere to go

And I've learned, sometimes the storm will hit
And it'll burn, until it breaks the skin
I'm undeserved of the life I live
Blessings surround me like the warmth of a summer wind!

It's sooo easy to do the wrongs
Easy to forget what's right
Brought into this world to live
Living til the day I die
No one can take this from me
I SWEAR, no one can take this from me...

With the Scars that prove the story of my life
With an open wound I gladly paid the price
If given a second chance I swear I'd do it all again
