lyrics

Ten Years Down the Road

Pygmalion saunters down a ghostly road
Crafting lifeless beauties in his mind
Mutters to himself like a lawnmower
Crosses the double lines
The road signs

And the street lights glare
As if he isn’t there
But they know he is anyway

Ten years down the road will I pass this way again
Ten years down the road will I meet my dead end

I spin my dreams on a loom of paper
That burns faster than I can read
Taking time is such a risky business
I set fire to all the things I must leave

And the hallways burn
And the streets they flood
In my hometown
I freeze my blood

Ten years down the road will I pass this way again
Ten years down the road will I meet my dead end

Dreams vanish without a trace
With little chance of saving face
But girl your face is so much more worth it
Than saving mine

And I lose my joy
As the seasons change
Like the fall of Troy
I just can’t maintain

Will I lose my lifelong fight
To do something good
To do something right

Ten years down the road will I pass this way again
Ten years down the road will I meet my dead end

Ten years down the road
Ten years down the road
