Long Road

So don't search for words unspoken
My soul I've dredged its deepest depth
Though it's secrets kept
To hold all this pain into me
I've lured myself to feel this way
The more I stay

You don't understand
Why I've been down
You don't understand
It gets to me - goes through me painfully
(It consumes me - it endures me painfully)

My good intentions
Were baptized in the crowd
Of contradiction
To scream this dream aloud when
I'm too in-tune to care
Wasting all my time

So drop all these fears around me
There's much too much indignity
In this case I plea
For these i'm thankful though born regretful
To talk it over breathes in doubt
You know it's a long road killing my soul

I've dried up these conversations
Removed - induced to feel this bad
Though it's all I had
Trading off a pain for worry
To push back this time that I inclined
You know it's a long road killing my soul
