Black Road

The sun is down inside of me
Ain't no cloud I can see
The river's high as a peregrine
It's felt lower than a creek

Well it's no one's need to heal my pain
When I reflect on where I've been

The visions dance before I sleep
And the night, yeah she strips me of her peace
I see shame behind me and another black road ahead
To be indiscreet is unlike me

I don't want to believe this is a "personal collapsing" kind of thing
Cause as far as I can see I ain't alone here
I don't want to believe this is a "quit it all and kick back" kind of thing
But as far as I can see that's in the essence of what it is

Because the wheels are rollin'
And I'm looking back again
I said the wheels are rollin'
And I can't embrace myself
