Something tells me that this mind is fading
without the headlights to guide me
through this winding road
it’s not easy to gauge your speed
when your lights are dimming
and your fuel is running low
I fear what’s happening to me
I fear my lies
The darkness is hunting me
While I live in this disguise
Nothing phases me as I’m passing through the causeway
And still I drive on cursing myself
As histories play maps in my mind
Contorting themselves, rotted with riddles
These lines don’t make sense to me.
I fear what’s happening to me
I fear my lies
The darkness is hunting me
While I live in this disguise
Don’t know where I’m going
But I’m going far
The miles keep chasing me
As I’m chasing the stars
As the pass opens up, I see the possibility of a life worth living
I see everything
As I begin again.

When I hit 23, I set out on a journey
Thought I was trying to find something
About what to do or where to go
I’ve got a lot to say and a lot more to know
I was meant to be an empty seat
Well Maybe I was running (maybe I was running)
For reasons all wrong, but at least I’m gone
I’m out finding what it means to be gone
It’s so nice to see your face again my friend
it’s been a little while since we last met
the past remains the same
but the future has changed
Tracing topography, decipher the colored key
just know that these pavement paths are set in stone
but the trails you blaze on your own
will take you further than any road
it’s so nice to see your face again my friend
it’s been a little while since we last met
the past remains the same
but the future has changed
The distance is coming, feel the proximity
of everything you fought for
There’s a wilderness in your bones that will never fail to take you home
so take out a match and set fire to your maps
And follow your own steps
Follow your own steps
Your moral compass is laid in gold
but the mountains are filled with iron and coal
stick to your guts, you’re arrow take you home
I traded in my compass so I’d never second guess
The trails that I’d blaze on my own
So take out a match and set fire to your maps
and follow your own, follow your own steps

I see a fire in your eyes
Burned me up inside, burned me up inside
Strike match and don’t look back
It’s all we can do to keep it alive
Don’t tell me I haven’t been here before
Don’t act like your the first one to chalk up the score
Took me a long time to realize that
I’m the one who’s right
I’m the one who’s right
Don’t you dare give up your flames
Set them all a blaze, leave them in your smoky haze
Strike a match and don’t hold back
It’s not worth the time to stay
Now It hits me like a meteor straight and to the core
An apocalypse under my skin
I’m a sentient
In your destructive wake
Your past, a wasteland you create
From the ashes, a phoenix rises
In the aftermath you’ll see your path
