lyrics

I can't believe I'm wasting time
People say I need to play
But they don't know I'm making time
Pushing back the slow decay

The end is certain, this I know
Afraid to walk that darkened road
'Cause I don't know what's waiting there
I won't believe what I've been told

Chorus:
The path I've taken may seem insane
Walked many miles in the pouring rain
And I'd like to think it's not in vain
But I haven't found the answer's name

When morning comes, the fog is gone
My subtle lies all come undone
The horror creeps, then soon retreats
Along the weary path I beat

'Cause time's unleashed a bitter scrawl
Upon the notepad of my life
Filled with cruel and taunting jeers
And lined with scars from sharpened knives

Chorus:
The path I've taken may seem insane
Walked many miles in the pouring rain
And I'd like to think it's not in vain
But I haven't found the answer's name

Had time to think and lots of dreams
And I know nothing's what it seems
Dreams will fade and still remain
To sting my thoughts like acid rain

With sunken dreams and bills to pay
I'll settle for another way
There's always hope but still some black
The clock is wound, can't turn it back

Chorus:
The path I've taken may seem insane
Walked many miles in the pouring rain
And I'd like to think it's not in vain
But I haven't found the answer's name

Does life mean anything to you?
We're too young to die, too much to do
The truth eludes me, still I know
I don't wanna walk that darkened road
The truth eludes me, still I know
I don't wanna walk that darkened road
I don't wanna walk that darkened road
I don't wanna walk that darkened road
