lyrics

I've got that hand at my back
Showing me where to go
I got them eyes on my path
Fighting off all my foes
All your fears and paranoia
Only helps stoke the fire
Sparks rise and light leaves
To set your funeral pire

But if I should stray
Too far on my own
I will come kicking and screaming
If you try to drag me back home
But if I should stray
Too close to the sun
I know the moon shall come calling
But the dawn shall wait as I run

Now I'm afraid of my own shadow
And all the rest to boot
But your traditions are hollow
And I won't fallow suit
All my anger and my hatred
Sweet friends at my side
One day they will haunt me
But my patients have died

But if I should stray
Too far on my own
I will come kicking and screaming
If you try to drag me back home
And if I should stray
Too close to the sun
I know the moon shall come calling
But the dawn shall wait as I run

You plead and you pray
You take every leap of faith
You throw your hands up to the sky
With no one reaching back today
You toil and you work
Use up all that you're worth
I am the buzzard picking at your bones
Becoming part of the dirt

But if I should stray
Too far on my own
I will come kicking and screaming
If you try to drag me back home
And if I should stray
Too close to the sun
I know moon shall come calling
But the dawn will wait as I run
