Lyrics

BACK On The TRACK

I thought I?d always be whole.
Thinking there?d never be a reason for pain.
Feeling so ordinary and plain.
I just set myself up for the big fall.

When you left you did more than leave the land that you lived on
When you left you did more than leave the earth which you breathed on
When you left, you left more than distortion and pain for us to grieve on
When you left you knocked me off of my track

I was knocked off the track.
Derailed and smoking the thick smoke is choking
I was racked through the back.
Steel and metal crunching the sparks fly above me and away

I thought you?d always be around.
You thought you?d always be around.
Taking the high life the bright life you gave life, you gave life to me
Taking the high life the bright life you gave life, you gave life to me

When darkness is the light by which I see.
The light in my friend?s faces begins to frighten me.
The shrapnel from the wreck is poisoned and it cuts
Plays with my brain, pollutes my veins, and makes it hurt when I?m touched

When you left you did more than leave the land that you lived on
When you left you did more than leave the earth which you breathed on
When you left, you left more than distortion and pain for us to grieve on
When you left, you left a trail to a forgotten path we once tread on

I?m getting back to the track
I?m feeling a bit better cuz I?m finding my way
On the track

Back on the track
Its a new day, a new way
I will not betray you my friend

Back on the track
I?m not losing time I?m out of time and
Riding away on the track

Back on the Track
Its a new day a new way
I will not betray you my friend
