lyrics
my jaw hurts from all the stress:
i clench, i bite, i press, i fight.
my jaw hurts from all the pills
ive tried to keep my life straight, still
i wander. . .
ive got my own straight and narrow path back at home.
but what if theres a split in the road?
which way should i go? i choose to go
dont look back theres no behind
forward legs go, always forward.
toward the unknown, always forward.
my back hurts from all the shit
i lift to pay my rent, i would quit
if i could conquer
all the way to where the heavens can reach
then id speak what i saw,
and in my speach you couldnt find a flaw.
then i remembered:
i cant complain theres air in my lungs and in my brain
and its too much fun to always change
dont look back, theres no behind
forward legs go always forward.
toward the unknown always forward.
i clench, i bite, i press, i fight.
my jaw hurts from all the pills
ive tried to keep my life straight, still
i wander. . .
ive got my own straight and narrow path back at home.
but what if theres a split in the road?
which way should i go? i choose to go
dont look back theres no behind
forward legs go, always forward.
toward the unknown, always forward.
my back hurts from all the shit
i lift to pay my rent, i would quit
if i could conquer
all the way to where the heavens can reach
then id speak what i saw,
and in my speach you couldnt find a flaw.
then i remembered:
i cant complain theres air in my lungs and in my brain
and its too much fun to always change
dont look back, theres no behind
forward legs go always forward.
toward the unknown always forward.
