No Direction

For there's no direction, but up
For there's no direction, but up

For there's no direction cause I've thrown away the key
I can't forgive my past transgressions and they'll never let me leave
It took clarity to notice, it took time for me to yield
It took pride to step aside, let common sense take the wheel

For there's no direction, but up
For there's no direction, but up

I view visions now, hear anecdotes that were never really there
Put my faith in human nature, and became a bloody square
For they'll soon be on my body, and the heel of my soul
From the boot that crossed a thousand miles and never came back home

For there's no direction, but up
For there's no direction, but up

I started painting pictures, pick up pieces from their plight
It's all just your perception, face retribution with a smile
And the sea started to wonder, and the earth we broke its mould
Well the trees let out a gasp, and the wind, it blew so cold

For there's no direction, but up
For there's no direction, but up

And I taught them to be confident, and I told them to be wild
I taught them to be gentle all whilst always being kind
And I taught them to be fierce, lord knows I paid the price
But I put fear before the fame, and the pain I set aside
