lyrics

On a tangled road started the vision
Drove against the dirt beneath his feet
He never swept out his condition
He just kept it aimed towards his dreams

Filled a dusty sack with all his feelings
Fueled the tank with dimes and elbow grease
He never felt as if they wondered, what's the nature of the game of this untrue disease?

A trembling hand among the shadows
Steel strings that cut up your will
You cannot know how is being living
Carved on the greed
But suited by fears
And hooked on a dream

Sentimental breakout on his passion
Cans of beer and just junk food to eat
Hitchhiking everyday and blaming
Which is the life I chose to live?
