Last Ride

Lately I’ve noticed that my life is like one long road trip
I drive blindly through, rarely noticing scenery as I pass
Ignoring the signs ahead, I am oblivious and coast along
I won’t face what is behind me, I stomp the gas

The directions are always misplaced or wrong
I just can’t seem to find my way out of this place
So I’ll just keep driving on this stretch helplessly
Sleeplessly, the wind blowing ashes back in my face

I thought of you as the road became rocky and rough
I wanted to turn the car around and run back to you
Instead I drove on through the edge of forever
Deciding it would be best if you never knew

Finally it seemed that I’d come to a cross
