Nowhere New

Coming back around again
But I feel I've been here all along
Singing all the same old songs

Only now the words have changed
And I'm struggling to find the key
And I lost the melody

But I don't think it matters much
Just hoping that at least it feels the same
But even the name has changed

So where do go from here
Do we start from scratch and pretend it's something new
Or do we keep playing through

There's a line
Missing from the verse
And I can't recall
What I heard

It sounded like
Dying man's words
But were they spoke
Or gently whispered

Now I'm back where I began
Singing all the same old songs I sang before
I can't write new ones no more

I'll just change the words a bit
Switch around the chords and move the key
But I'll keep the melody

Don't think it'll matter much
Don't think that anyone would ever know
If they did they wouldn't let it show

So what's the point if I
Write something new or recreate something old
I don't think I'll ever know

There's a line
Missing from the verse
And I can't recall
What I heard

It sounded like
Dying man's words
But were they spoke
Or gently whispered

I could have swore I left this place
But now I'm not sure I even moved
Now I'm scared to learn the truth

So now I'm trying to
Hold onto youth to keep from growing old
Now where's there left to go
