Mile Zero

It starts as one festering feeling The kind that cuts from the flesh down to the soul No way (no way) to make amends for the time behind the door Street lights feed lies straight to the mind of the wishful wanderer How could he give up? No second chances to say goodbye Wrapped in this cold, nostalgic energy From cries of the ones who are buried Ascend beyond Life is ruthless and shot full of pain Lifts you up, leaves you out in the rain, and it hurts just to know that you're not coming back again I will miss you my friend Memories like a slug to the brain, paint the walls that with a love that will stain the darkest of nights Left to join with the stars, I cannot shake this off my chest In death we grieve 'til all have transcended from this realm In time we will meet again Suddenly I can feel the connection between dimension ties Open gut on the floor Trembling down to the core What is this? It's been a long ride without you I'm lost inside my own world There's not a single day where I've feigned the acceptance, but it's a somber stroll down this road that we call life The silence still is crawling out of my sedated sight How can I be free? Wrapped in this cold nostalgic energy From cries of the ones who are buried Ascend beyond Life is ruthless and shot full of pain Lifts you up, leaves you out in the rain, and it hurts just to know that you're not coming back again I will miss you my friend Memories like a slug to the brain, paint the walls that with a love that will stain the darkest of nights Left to journey alone, but I can find my way back home
