Roads - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

It started with a stroke of your hair

But now I'm stuck just standing here

Both of us know that nothing is the same

But we're still here

It came to pass that over time

The feeling's gone and we don't know why

And so we hope that time will make a change

But we're still the same

I gotta go back down that same old road that brought me here

Back through those painful memories and fears

I once believed we'd make it to the end

But now I feel my world is caving in

Holding close to these cuffs that I can see

Have been holding me down

I felt it best to hide my fears

Afraid of what the truth could mean

Could I make it in this world on my own?

Where would I begin?

I gotta go back down that same old road that brought me here

Back through those painful memories and fears

But now I see the light is shining down on me

And now I know I've been fighting

For what's already gone

I gotta go back down that same old road that brought me here

Back through those painful memories and fears

Looking down from the hospital window

I see the lights stream through the dark

Millions of faces all plagued by the same guilt

And at the end of the day I am just one part
