Lyrics

a road that changes every time i’m on it
and where i’m going isn’t up to me
a sky that’s broken and filled with empty windows
and i am broken just because i am
what are the reasons?
where are my seasons?
and what does it have to do with me?

a ghost that’s taken every option out there
and when it’s leaving isn’t up to me
a path forsaken and left to heavy winters
and where is the Star-man when i need him now?
where are the answers?
what are my questions?
and what does it have to do with me?

you need to understand
this isn’t what i planned
another monster
has the upper hand on me

a fear that’s spoken isn’t what i’m after
and why is it taking my broken memories?
a time for learning something ever after
and what are the chances that i can learn at all?
what are the secrets?
who are the sinners?
and what does it have to do with me?

a road that changes every time i’m on it
and where i’m going isn’t up to me
a sky that’s broken and filled with empty windows
and i am broken just because i’m me
where are the bodies?
what are we doing?
and what does it have to do with me?

you need to understand
this isn’t what i planned
another monster
has the upper hand on me
