Something Lyrics

Broken bottles line the pathway of my feet

In another place and time they would retreat

But the circumstance don't make it so

The light inside is fading low

Summoning the plunge into the deep

To where did all the years so gradually retreat

Is this as far as one could ever hope to reach

There's a flame inside that turning cold

Dancing in a faded gold

Its ashes left to tumble in the breeze

I need something

Oh something

I don't wanna grow old and be left with nothing

There's a million miles to go but I fear I'm running low

I may not get to make it to the show

A good counsel with oneself is hard to keep

And some rewards harder still to reap

It's the firepit inside the soul

That pushes on like it doesn't know

The clock sits playing poker with the beast

I need something

Oh something

I don't wanna grow old and be left with nothing

There's a million miles to go but I fear I'm running low

If only then I knew what I now know
