lyrics

I don't know where this road goes
the memory grips me
like nothing before and I can't ignore
the scent of soap that was never mine
tell everyone else that I'm fine
maybe hope is overrated

Well my eyes don't see so far
straight to the part where we'll be fine
I'm still smelling smoke, trying to clear my eyes
they don't see so far
straight to the part where we'll be fine
still smelling smoke
but I don't know if it's fire

They tricked me again and again
sent me in circles
and filling out forms, I don't know what for
I don't know where to begin
where my footsteps came from
I've hidden a list too well from myself

The passing days take souvenirs
trophies of their prey
I stay awake, remain aware
try to find what isn't there
The passing days take souvenirs
trophies of their prey
I stay awake, remain aware
try to find what isn't there

Well my eyes don't see so far
straight to the part where we'll be fine
I'm still smelling smoke, trying to clear my eyes
they don't see so far
straight to the part where we'll be fine
still smelling smoke
but I don't know if it's fire

The passing days take souvenirs
trophies of their prey
I stay awake, remain aware
try to find what isn't there
The passing days take souvenirs
trophies of their prey
I stay awake, remain aware
try to find what isn't there
