A Long Way Past the Past [Solstice]

[Verse 1]

More than I had in mind

More than I wish I knew

And now it's near on me, some rush of red fear

My worst old times look fine from here

[Verse 2]

I know you walked this route

And you might help me out

You said what's done is done, I can't turn the hand 'round

But still it looks a long way down

[Chorus]

Oh man, was it that much better then?

We were left alone, we were proud of our pain

And so I want to walk out in the night

See the wide young river flood rain

[Verse 3]

We're not on one straight line

I made my own way through

And when the track goes cold, I'll know that it's true

That rebirth won't work like it used to

[Chorus]

Oh man, was it that much better then?

We were left alone, we were proud of our pain

And so I want to walk out in the night

See the wide young river flood rain

[Bridge]

And I can't let go of a lot I've left

I'm holding nothing but what I kept

And it all got dimmer each passing step

And I need you with me, and you read the writ

Are you now insisting, is it not worth it?

But I've got no option, I inherited this and I'm overcome

[Outro]

That's that, we're a long way from the past

I'll be better off in a year or in two
