Now Im just way too young for my twilight years
But I've got this bittersweet melody melody
Taking root in my ear
So I pour a glass and channel you my dear
I write these lines and I face my fears
We ran the lines you said they were fine
(We ran the lines and you said they were fine)
I hated every second but i took the time
(I hated it but I took my time)
The journey feels long but I don't mind
(Oh ya know I do not mind)
Cuz its a long road home
The night takes on it's own shape
Wild dogs howling in a distant place
Feeling safe is a relevant space ohh
I got something to say but what do i know
Fine line between a wedding and a funeral
Once more into the fold we go
Its a long road home
Its a long road home
Its a long road home
Its a long road home
You struck a nerve but I let it pass
Dodging a crash back in the lab calibrating my hour glass
That thing called patience ehh I'm not known for that
I say let's move forward but my mind Runs it back
And. Now Cursing in cursive
My words are curved like a serpent
I double down on my pride and act like its on purpose
Superfluous urges I'm steady curbing but its worthless
My mind is a circus I gotta rewire my circuits
No dress rehearsal one take before curtains
Type casted for a role of guy thats been hurting
Been working with a burden engaging in higher learning
Theres a deeper sense of self in here and I feel it burning
And Ill admit, Im finding solace in the sadness
Clarity in the madness
A deeper understanding
That the essence of it all is merely your state of mind
But here I am staring at the ceiling killing time meanwhile
The night takes on it's own shape
Wild dogs howling in a distant place
Feeling safe is a relevant space ohh
I got something to say but what do i know
Fine line between a wedding and a funeral
Once more into the fold we go
Its a long road home
Its a long road home
Its a long road home
Its a long road home
Its a long road home
Its a long road home
