lyrics

I went looking through the streets
Sifting through the fluorescent night
Didn't find what I was looking for
Didn't stop me from walking 'til daylight

The streetlights always stay on until dawn
My eyes stay open until the image is gone
Concrete mirrors our slow decay
Our shoes are slowly wearing you away

Looking back is a sharp attack these days
Regret has drawn the lines upon my face

It's harder to look ahead than stare at the ground
But you'll never heal unless you leave this town
The nightmare is here
The dream is past the bend
And you need a few stitches before you can mend

Some really black clouds are floating in the West
Change is aloft
It's dark, this place is dying
Like someone turned it off

I've seen my transformation from where I stand
The sad little boy became the regretful man
The journey is as far as the shadow of my doubt
No matter the direction
Anywhere else is out

Looking back is a sharp attack these days
Regret has drawn the lines upon my face
A retrospective intellect will always be alone
Spiraling in would have, should have known
