The Way Back by Nothingnew
The Way Back lyrics
his eyes shifting watery winding down the trail
it�s a long way back to meet the ones he failed
where ugliness and greed and sloth prevailed
he couldn�t help but feel his dream had been derailed
upon his final realization that
from the top there�s one place left to go-
head back home
his aspirations crashing down,
asphyxiating, crushing him below
he should have known
that sometimes escape is the only good reason to live
and once we do break out, we find that we have nothing left
�so take me home,� but he didn�t mean it
so he stumbled down the mountainside
feeling like his life had been resigned
he lacked the pride
to think he could�ve made it back
to think he could make himself be a man
he couldn�t stand
and sometimes we find that in life there is no choice no make
no regret in the actions when we find there�s no course to take
�so take me home, �cause i don�t need them�
and he flies off the mountainside in his final act
there was no choice in death or going back
he closes his eyes, waits for the final crash
into the earth he finds his own way back.
