Alex Tooley - Dark Roads Lyrics

When I woke up
All I saw was
Dark on the day of light
Death on a day of resurrection
This could not be
The intensity
Of irony
Inside of me
Covered my eyes
As the world around me
Turned upside down
This was meant to be my last breath
The fear was supposed to take that
But what happened wasn't what was said
Instead I got one more chance
To change the way that I lived
It took me long enough

These dark roads
They haunt me
I can't see straight
When the hour arrived
To fight the force called fear
We all know death is upon us
We just want to run from the moment
That awaits us tomorrow
I know
It's all sorrow

I know
This sounds strange
I tell you
When you
See fear
You'll see
What I mean
That what fear
Wants us
To believe
Is that
Our final moment is only in his control
Now that's not
What we know
But it knows
We know
To find an escape route
If not anything else
To say a prayer
To the Lord
That we did our best
To finish His test
To escape the darkness
I talk about this wreckage
I open up my mind to
Tell you that this is what has kept me alive
It told me
To watch out
And keep hold
To photos
Because soon
That's all I could have to remind myself of you
This is when
I realized that
I have limited time
To sing this change to you

These dark roads
They haunt me
I can't see straight
When the hour arrived
To fight the force called fear
We all know death is upon us
We just want to run from the moment
That awaits us tomorrow
I know
It's all sorrow

I've been through the pain
I've lost what I've gained
I've walked through the rain
This fear shaped my mind
It locked me inside
And told me to stay
(Silent)
(Silent)
(Silent)
(Silent)

All of this is true
Every word came from my heart
Whether I like it or not
This is the person I am
This event kept me from saying a word to anyone who doubted that anything
I had to say even had any worth
(Silent)
(Silent)
(Silent)
(Silent)
I've been through the pain
I've lost what I've gained
I've walked through the rain
This fear shaped my mind
It locked me inside
And told me to stay

These dark roads
They haunt me
I can't see straight
When the hour arrived
To fight the force called fear
We all know death is upon us
We just want to run from the moment
That awaits us tomorrow
I know
It's all sorrow
I've been through the pain
I've lost what I've gained
I've walked through the rain
This fear shaped my mind
It locked me inside
And told me to stay
