The Road Never Taken
The Road Never Taken
A million miles left on the road
traveling like a nomad
my destination unknown
and time runs out of my hand
and I am sinking so fast
in this bed I made of quicksand
so many times I left you hungry
so many lessons I never stopped and took notice
now I am the lone ranger
now it's me with no clear answers.....
A time so brief
was once given to me
to do with it whatever I pleased
but I wasted it with so many bad choices
didn't know it would cost
the one thing I held so fragile
I knew the right way
so why did I choose wrong?
So at the stop sign
the red signal of a crisis in my life
I turned and saw the devil
who tempted my already tortured soul
told me I was better than everyone
told me I was invincible
so now I lay down in the devil's den
listening to all the wrong voices
made me see how evil swallows you from within
a lifeless body....arrived DOA
how could I survived that wreck
when whiskey and cocaine
took the centerpiece of my brain?
The pain I cost
from hell's hot corner
I see the anguish I bought
and I cry tears than burn down my cheek
I lost everything
because in the process of meeting so many people
it was God who I failed to meet....
