THE WILD ROAD

Take me down the wild road
  Towards misery or glee
The face you are looking at
  Isn't the one that I see
All that I ever asked for
  Was a final quiet night
To put to bed the darkness
  I've been fighting all my life
So keep all your salutations
  Resentments all you breed
Stop ending our conversations
  By telling me what I need
If you ever get inside my head
  You'll end up turning in your grave
One last glimpse of happiness
  Is all that I really crave
So take me down that wild road
  Where a strange new world awaits
Break-out your shining gold key
  And open up these bloody gates
Leave me to my own thoughts
  You don't know what's best for me
Just leave me to my musings                                                                                        
  And let my mind roam free
So take me down the wild road
   Allow me to be crazy
Go and take care of yourself
  It's your future that is hazy
As I head down that wild road
  Through the gates that I broke down
The look that's now on my face
  Is no longer a sad frown
Now you only see my back
  Going down the wild road
Know all you that follow me
  Here you never will grow old
