Where the Road Goes Dark

No headlights.

No signs.

Just another mile

Between who I was

And who I'm trying to become.

I've been driving through the darkness

With the weight of every year

All the things I never told them

Still screaming in my ears

There's a cemetery in my rearview

Full of versions of myself

Every mile I leave behind me

Feels like something I can't help

I don't need another answer

I don't need another lie

I've spent too many nights pretending

That I'm doing fucking fine

The road keeps calling

The night keeps falling

But somewhere past the pain

I hear my name

I'M STILL DRIVING

THROUGH THE DARK!

WITH A BROKEN COMPASS

AND A HEAVY HEART!

IF I'M ALONE

THEN LET ME BE!

I'D RATHER FACE THE DARKNESS

THAN LOSE MYSELF TO FEAR!

Every town becomes a memory

Every face becomes a ghost

I've spent my life chasing somewhere

I could finally feel at home

But you can't outrun your demons

When they're riding in the seat

And you can't bury all your sorrow

When it's six feet underneath

So I stopped asking for forgiveness

From the person I became

I started looking at the wreckage

Without running from the flames

NO MORE HIDING!

NO MORE RUNNING!

NO MORE LYING

TO MYSELF!

I'VE GOT SCARS!

I'VE GOT REGRETS!

I'VE GOT YEARS

I CAN'T GET BACK!

BUT I'M STILL—

STANDING!

Maybe the road isn't taking me

Anywhere I thought it would

Maybe getting lost

Was the only way

I ever could

Find the pieces

Find the truth

Find the man

I buried underneath my youth

I'M STILL DRIVING

THROUGH THE DARK!

BUT NOW I KNOW

JUST WHERE WE ARE!

I DON'T NEED

THE ROAD TO END!

I JUST NEED THE STRENGTH

TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP!

IF I'M ALONE

THEN LET ME BE!

THE NIGHT CAN'T TAKE

WHAT'S LEFT OF ME!

LET THE ENGINE SCREAM!

LET THE GUITARS BLEED!

I'M NOT THE PAST

THAT'S CHASING ME!

I'M NOT THE WRECKAGE!

I'M NOT THE PAIN!

I'M STILL ALIVE—

SO I'LL DRIVE AGAIN!

No headlights.

No signs.

Just one more mile.

And for the first time…

I'm not afraid

of where it leads.
