Have you ever been down this road?
Rocky, paved, or dirt road
I can remember when every step was a marker of success
I was younger then, life didn't seem so thin
never imagined i'd be where i am today
its like no matter how hard you try the cycle
continues to drift like a piece of patrafide wood further and further away
You can clearly see the path ahead is a one way
trip into a dark endless abyss, but you can't seem to
break the mental chains that physically have been
removed, but inside my brain they still remain
holding my goals and dreams back thinking my facts
about myself are exact, even though my hands have
never dug deep enough to extract the me that I
can only see when i sleep;
a little young boy
stealing mad toys only to one day see them all destroyed
its funny the way things happen;
some folks run from
their habits, but always seem to run into another way
to grab it.
for so long i tried to outrun the madness
but it's always the fastest beating me to my undetermined
destination waiting for me with that same damn
grin like where have i been i reply digging deep within
repenting my forgotten sins, he smiles and says you'll
never escape the fire that burns beneath your skin:
thats when i realized the truth behind his eyes,
instead of trying to run and hide
all i had to do to find me is look to the Most High!
