Heading down the highway just me and my truck
I don’t think there is anything here that could bring me comfort or luck
To take a moment to feel my love
Where did we go wrong?
I have no place to belong
I crawl down this darkness of  this empty path
Looking behind me yet I should leave it in the past
I Pray to the lord this open road will lead me to where I belong
Free like a bird but without the wings
I shall learn to fly all by myself with just me by my side
I step out into the morning light trying to  be one with my soul
Embracing myself like it’s the only thing I know
I have isolated myself in a place where only I exist
Speaking so faintly that my voice is missed
I’m exhausted I have no fear
I have given all that I have
Made mistakes  now I’m bound here
I’m locked inside the empty soul of mine
My core has been pierced way to many times
I feel as though I may disappear
I have nothing left lost my shine
I wish I could just leave this life behind
The road is long and lonely
Collecting my tears setting it free
Did you hear the stars whisper so insistently
That my essence was uprooted
That should never be
I have no vision left yet I can see
I know what’s approaching I know it all to well
So do not tempt me
I can’t seem to find anywhere to hide
You are alive in the very substance of my soul
Please be kind let it go
Don’t make me weak don’t make me need
The light has dimmed into the night
In this place where nothing else matters
I just wish I knew what was right
