The Long Road
Don't try to stop me now, I'm not looking back on this...

I am going away, far, far away, on a different road,
The road I will traveled;
by Lauren Dymke
Well some of us, we just don't know
They told me "This is the straight and narrow
If you keep walking you may find
A way to
Obeying A Nightmare
Repeating a cycle, a phrase or a word,
An attitude lived and a lesson unheard.
What's the allure, the gift
