Past all the trees
And the rusty signs
Emptiness lies ahead
But something is hidden
Gemstones in the dust
Scratched by the lonely
The birds have been silenced
By the gasping wind
I cannot make that turn
So I just go straight
Following the path
Laid out for someone else
Flowers bloom within
A sight I?ll never see
Too scared and disciplined
To start exploring
I built you in my mind
I destroyed you with my tears
Looking under stones
For what I left behind
Barefoot on the pavement
In a comfortable land
The sun shines down
On my restless heart
Carry me back
So I may see what I missed
Even if it is nothing
It would mean the world to me
And the rusty signs
Emptiness lies ahead
But something is hidden
Gemstones in the dust
Scratched by the lonely
The birds have been silenced
By the gasping wind
I cannot make that turn
So I just go straight
Following the path
Laid out for someone else
Flowers bloom within
A sight I?ll never see
Too scared and disciplined
To start exploring
I built you in my mind
I destroyed you with my tears
Looking under stones
For what I left behind
Barefoot on the pavement
In a comfortable land
The sun shines down
On my restless heart
Carry me back
So I may see what I missed
Even if it is nothing
It would mean the world to me
