The Regretful Man
I went looking through the streets
Sifting through the fluorescent night
Didn't find what I was looking for
Didn't stop me from walking 'til daylight
The streetlights always stay on until dawn
My eyes stay open until the image is gone
Concret mirrors our slow decay
Our shoes are slowly wearing you away
Looking back is a sharp attack these days
Regret has drawn the lines upon my face
It's harder to look ahead than stare at the ground
But you'll never heal unless you leave this town
The nightmare is here
The dream is past the bend
And you need a few stitches before you can mend
Some really black clouds are floating in the West
Change is aloft
It's dark, this place is dying
Like someone turned it off
I've seen my transformation from where I stand
The sad little boy became the regretful man
The journey is as far as the shadow of my doubt
No matter the direction
Anywhere else is out
Looking back is a sharp attack these days
Regret has drawn the lines upon my face
A retrospective intellect will always be alone
Spiraling in would have, should have known
Sifting through the fluorescent night
Didn't find what I was looking for
Didn't stop me from walking 'til daylight
The streetlights always stay on until dawn
My eyes stay open until the image is gone
Concret mirrors our slow decay
Our shoes are slowly wearing you away
Looking back is a sharp attack these days
Regret has drawn the lines upon my face
It's harder to look ahead than stare at the ground
But you'll never heal unless you leave this town
The nightmare is here
The dream is past the bend
And you need a few stitches before you can mend
Some really black clouds are floating in the West
Change is aloft
It's dark, this place is dying
Like someone turned it off
I've seen my transformation from where I stand
The sad little boy became the regretful man
The journey is as far as the shadow of my doubt
No matter the direction
Anywhere else is out
Looking back is a sharp attack these days
Regret has drawn the lines upon my face
A retrospective intellect will always be alone
Spiraling in would have, should have known
