No paths no trail No hills to climb Simplicity as far as the lazy eyes could see. Next time... I'll look harder next time. Picking the lint off my favorite sweater. As I pull this carriage again The mudslide seems to be the common trend. Throwing a fit. Waiting for this mud to turn to rock So I have a place to sit. Clutching the pristine rifle Pin these medals on the battle harden coward. Struggling, balancing on this slippery saddle Knocked on my *** again. Never can predict which way the wind will blow Can never make a foot print in the snow Apathy becomes so empowered Things seem so much easier from far away Trembling, I'll turn back into the grey. I'll just go home... Not a single dream chased Not one battle faced I love how that smells But too afraid to taste.. I want to be something so bad It's under my skin The dreams of it make me grin. Only skin deep... nothing's strong enough within...

Paths of Regret.
No paths no trail No hills to climb Simplicity as far as the lazy eyes could see. Next time... I'll look harder next time. Picking the lint off my favorite sweater. As I pull this carriage again The mudslide seems to be the common trend. Throwing a fit. Waiting for this mud to turn to rock So I have a place to sit. Clutching the pristine rifle Pin these medals on the battle harden coward. Struggling, balancing on this slippery saddle Knocked on my *** again. Never can predict which way the wind will blow Can never make a foot print in the snow Apathy becomes so empowered Things seem so much easier from far away Trembling, I'll turn back into the grey. I'll just go home... Not a single dream chased Not one battle faced I love how that smells But too afraid to taste.. I want to be something so bad It's under my skin The dreams of it make me grin. Only skin deep... nothing's strong enough within...
