Path To Sorrow Lyrics - Crucified

sitting here thinking back 

on the better days, the days gone past 

before the change, the way things were 

when everything was new and pure 

when life was free and filled with hope 

when everything was explained in full 

those days are near forgotten 

the ache of today replaces them 

what about tomorrow? 

will I have reached the goal? 

or died forgotten, 

with nothing to show? 

"don't get your hopes up son, 

there are no guarantees in life but one 

that eventually you'll die. 

that's a guarantee you cannot escape from." 

so i'm sitting here - all alone 

it's always worse when no one's home 

why should I continue on 

if death is the only final outcome? 

to pursue some mythical success 

that some have been fooled to think exists? 

only to meet frustration and die 

still they go on trying and trying and... 

I refuse to live that lie 

but then what is there but to die? 

I knew I require some change 

but every day comes up the same...fruitless 

failure - so many say 

I slow them down i'm in the way 

spineless - got me convinced they've reached security 

weakling - got me pegged 

as if alone they've reached success 

hopeless - all I am, the difference between 

this world betrays 

this world, it feasts upon me 

failure - far too weak 

can't even stand on your own two feet 

spineless - you could never make it in this world of ours 

weakling - they scream at me 

inside your self is the strength you need 

hopeless - the strong survive the weak are devoured 

failure - I feel defeat 

but I see now they're hiding something 

spineless - draw my attention far away from hope 

weakling - away from God, away from love 

shake their fists at him above 

hopeless - could it be? he shakes the world the lie they hold 

my loneliness is evidence of my failure 

to stay would mean to pursue some goal 

which has eluded me so far 

they say I need no one else, only myself 

unfortunately that way of life leaves me nothing but hell
