lyrics

Written In Stone

It's written in stone
That I'll be walkin' lonely forever
Forever is such a long time

To gather no moss
But incur the cost of a tether
A tether to a life that ain't mine

I keep running from the thought
That I was born to take a vow
Halfway in the grave
My head up in the clouds...well

Now I've had my fill
No more standing still
Ooh..I'm never going back
There's no home to make
Just my leave to take
There goes another life I tried to live
But it just ain't mine

It's not what it seems
When you sell your dreams down the river
The river flows only one way

A glimmer of light
Going out of sight with a shiver
A shiver of thoughts turned to grey

There can be no denying
How I fell for a shady deal
Now I'm paying through the nose
Wondering if I'll ever heal

I keep running from the thought
That I was born to take a vow
Halfway in the grave
My head up in the clouds...well

Now I've had my fill
No more standing still
Ooh..I'm never going back
There's no home to make
Just my leave to take
Who knows if the night will forgive
All those pretty lies in the ditch
There goes another life I tried to live
But it just ain't mine
