Moonshine Raiders - Byways Lyrics

You haunt me like an hourglass
Reminding me of the time that's passed
I'm trying to forget that you exist
But we both know that I ain't better than this
I'm staring at light in a pitch black room
And voices come from behind the gloom
To remind me of reality
But right now I don't want to leave

They say there's nothing wrong with me
That it all just happened circumstantially
But I twist and break at every turn
So I ain't the man that they had sworn
Because when I see you in my fantasies
It only ever makes me bleed

Now I'm back where I belong
With the faithless trash and the doers of wrong
I know what I did, I know who was
But that don't mean it ain't as bad as it comes
So now I hide from my basket of sin
And fight a fight I know I can't win
To try to get you back where I can see
Because what would I do without my apogee

They say there's nothing wrong with me
That it all just happened circumstantially
But I twist and break at every turn
So I wash my eyes and wait to burn
Because when I see you in my wildest dreams
It only ever makes me bleed

I know I took the byways
But how did I get so far
I went out looking for you
And now I don't know where you are
I think I was always destined
To get so lost
I found out
When I asked my lonely ghost
He said the future feels like the past
And the past feels like the present
But you know that don't you?
The only way out
Is to fight your way in
Like the devil into heaven
So I walked into the street
Where the memories lay
And it all seemed so strange
Because the clock struck midnight
But the crows flew away
Can anyone explain?

Maybe I should just stop for a while
I'm weaker now
I'm weaker now
But what would I do
While you haunt my dreams
And I taunt myself
That hope still gleams
