Dead Ends

Different day, same old thoughts
Changed my path, I'm still off course
Can someone tell me which road i should roam?

"Boy make a left, or just go right
But don't you dare stay on this line
We'll only get where dead ends tend to grow"

Clipped my wings, I'm scared to fly
'Cause ain't that how icarus died
But living safely's been killing me slow

Oh I hate the way that I've let my fears of living life sit between my ears
I can't tell if they're even my own

'Cause this drain I'm circling round as of late
Has pulled my heart into a doubt ridden sewer
Where dreams get skewered now I'm tryin' to dig them out

This town is making me bitter
My best friend's been hurting my liver
Now I feel best when I can't feel a thing

Oh I'm so damn close to doing a runner
Rather walk with hurt than sit here and suffer
I think it's time I finally up and leave
Where the dead ends meet

There's a poison here that eats away
At any other shade that isn't grey
I feel it touching the last bit of pride I saved

So what's a man do when all he can is ask
"How do I leave here?" to men who never have
It's a long way home from the place I call it now

'Cause these trees
They're the same ones that I've seen
But the view can't change 'less you start steppin
So Imma start stepping, or cuttin these wood gates down

This town is making me bitter
My best friend's been hurting my liver
Now I feel best when I can't feel a thing

Oh I'm so damn close to doing a runner
Rather walk with hurt than sit here and suffer
I think it's time I finally up and leave
Where the dead ends meet

Waited all this time
To change my mind
I had no fight
To leave this behind
Waited all this time
To change my mind
I had no fight
To leave this behind

This town is making me bitter
My best friend's been hurting my liver
Now I feel best when I can't feel a thing
Oh I'm so damn close to doing a runner
Rather walk with hurt than sit here and suffer
I think it's time I finally up and leave
Where the dead ends meet

Waited all this time
To change my mind
I had no fight
To leave this behind
Waited all this time
To change my mind
I had no fight
To leave this behind
