Song Lyrics

I've got a picture with my brother and my old man
He's got both of us held in his hands
It was nineteen-eighty-something
Frozen together on our first front lawn
And I can see myself in his young eyes
It's like my own reflection lost in time
Asking where have you gone my wayfaring son
And where have you gone so wrong

Sometimes I feel there's a lonely road stretching black miles through my soul
With no destination but somewhere else, and no chance to change
Or heal myself

Was I missing something from the start
Was I missing something that's gonna tear me apart
Did you know and swallow regret and hatred
That consumed your mind
When you were all alone did your thoughts drift to darkened places
Just like mine

And it keeps me up at night sometimes, I can feel it in my bones
They tremble and shake as shadowed walls shift in empty rooms alone
I want to go laughing madly in spite of death
I want to live like there's nothing left
I want to spit in the faces of fate itself
No destination but somewhere else

Nathaniel James Rufus, Robert Hollis Rufus
