lyrics

Will we find comfort in this open road
Have we ever asked ourselves if we'll like what we've never known

Are we afraid to commit
Have our hearts been lost trying to be hip

Shelf life Stop lights And half lives
Talk the talk and walk the walk stand tall

Loose talk Names dropped They called the show off
Through disrespect and bad calls we still stand tall

I hope youth's never lost. Again.

All those things you've ever said about me
Just another dead kid sixth and green is where I should be

But we decided baggage can only
Weigh us down Until we move on
Here we are standing tall moving on.

Short and sweet and unafraid
In this small fish bowl
On the road will we sink or swim
Or will we meet our goals

The mystery makes me lose sleep

You can turn the keys start the car
Bad music won't go far
Use your heart make your mark
Just move on
Pay your bills just be responsible don't leave the Wreckage of your past to your next of kin
Complacency sets in

We've come too god damn far
Disadvantaged start
Some tried there best to help us
Sometimes "try's" not enough

Will we find comfort in this open road
Great solitude all day in a van on the way to a show
Define doubts and what it means to commit and Know we're not the first band
That had to go through this shit
Just so we could hear
The aural illustration of their fights with fear

This is not the ending that resolves the pivotal point
It just continues begging the question
I've asked myself all my life Is it worth the fight?
I don't want to wonder on my deathbed
If my decision to leave it all behind was right
