The Road Lyrics

The relentless inferno has burned

And now only embers emerge

A servant to thirst, endless surges 'n' urges

The cinders 'n' verses gave me purpose

And worth, when worth had deserted

But the murmurs, were precursors

For the screams 'n' the hurt

And it seems

The curtains are close to closing

And warmth is approaching

The hatred is fading

And pain's dissipating

The pace I set is waning

But my footsteps can't keep up

With the tread of the two step

Stood in the shade, of the grey

And everythin' has changed

Once upon a time, I'd race the clouds home

I'd let them win of course

My bones 'n' my mind ablaze

My feet were the beat of the metronome

And I'd, listen to the silent singin'

The cadence inside my soul

Too lost in the thoughts formin' in my mind to realise

That I was walkin' alone

And the lights of the bonfire burned so bright

I didn't know how to slow the tempo

Or look back to

The tracks of the past me that tread this path

Now the wind blows cold upon these old bones

And the sounds are only echoes

As the walls crumble, I stumble home

I swore that my kingdom would never fall

As you're growin' up, I'm slowin' down

The sunlight's runnin' out

Applause is dyin' down

Now, no pages to be found

Ink sinks into the ground

And words escape me now

Rust forms upon my crown

And now, we've reached the final bow

Every day I used to walk home

Head low every moment slow

Countin' the cracks in the pavement

Rackin' my brain as the sound scape froze

I got this dream 'n' I know I won't let go

And I'm stood upon my tip toes

Peering over bleak scenery

Speaking to the future me

Ya gotta make it y'know

'Cos there's nothing left if we don't

But def ears only hear dead tones

I'll listen to the voices in my headphones

My brains breakin' awaitin' a breakdown

But I'm still prayin' for high notes

And I stand toe to toe

With my lowest moments that I can't let go

Which are caught 'n' froze in the throes of the flow of the undertow

And I know

Exactly what you see in me don't fit into this scenery

And I know

I rose to eye roll's

I've reached so high but there's no time to rest

The best is yet to come

You've seen nothing yet

I've only just begun

And I know

I'm the spittin' image

Every second that you listen, is an hour that I've given

But as I'm growin' up, you're slowin' down

The footprints I've been followin' are runnin' out

Won't stop, won't quit, until my footprints are the only ones now

Gotta make my imprint distinct, for the next me when he walks around

With his head down to the ground, performin' for that silent crowd

I won't stop now

I won't fall down

But if I hit the ground

I hope I've made you proud

I won't stop now

I won't fall down

But if I hit the ground

I hope I've made you proud

I won't stop now

I won't fall down

But if I hit the ground

I hope I've made you proud

I won't stop now

I won't fall down

But if I hit the ground

I hope I've made you proud

The road is rollin' out

The skies scatter the clouds

The sun is never goin' down

The shadows stay, they stain 'n' they paint the ground

Step follows step, I can't stop movin'

Don't stop to watch or even acknowledge the ruins

Even if it hurts

Even if there's no words

Still in search of a verse

Through the scum through the mud through the dirt
