DFA – Down This Road lyrics

Just outta the trash you tossed me in
One word and im lost again
Throwback to a time i tried to escape from
All those years are pulling me back down

So i shut the door and put on my jacket
Dirt and holes all over my vans and
I follow the road marks heading nowhere
Slowly the forests edge getting closer

Recognize my name its printed on this road
Nirvana in front of me - feeling exposed
But this is something I myself caused
Even though the ego is hard to let go

I don’t wanna say that i deserve this shit
But maybe i should take the time to lay my thoughts on it
Sometimes the mind struggles to accepting things
So im gonna walk this lane and take a lesson from it

im walking down this road on my own
and I keep on to grow yeah
Sometimes its hard to forget the past
but I’ll find a way to make it last
So I keep on walking down this road

Passed the signs to leave this town
I never came so far walking on my own
What i seek can be found somewhere away from home
Familiar but different from what I’ve come to know

Its not only about what you get to pick up
The absence of things step by step make you richer
The barriers in yourself is what you wanna get rid of
Fear of the unknown leaves your mind in a rigor

You can hope and prey and wish that the darkness ends
Or stand up for yourself and take the torch instead
Isolation is a diet for the mind
Only gets stronger as you’re fighting to survive

A breath of fresh air - silence surrounds me
Encounter with myself and its reflection only
Birth of ignorance - the death of change
Keep your eyes open as you walk this way

Im walking down this road on my own
And I keep on to grow yeah sometimes its hard to forget the past but
I’ll find a way to make it last
So I keep on walking down this road and

I’ll find my way to
Yeah I find my way
(and I’ll find my way to
yeah I find my way)

step by step we grow - walking down this road
Step by step we grow - walking down this road

Im walking down this road on my own
And I keep on to grow yeah
Sometimes its hard to forget the past
but I’ll find a way to make it last

this road on my own and I keep on to grow yeah
Sometimes its hard to forget the past
but I’ll find a way to make it last
So I keep on walking down this road
