Everything becomes old so quick
Sky burns out and the air grow thick
My feet grow weary from a long long day
And my hands are worn
How did I manage so far out?
Lost the map and I'm driving to doubts
Now I know, I can finally see
Something has to change
Because I
Keep saying that I'll never go back again
I'm making promises that only meet a quick end
I'm walking backwards into darker devotion
And I'm seeing everything in slow motion
These conversations stuck on repeat
Inner voice that tried to speak
Seems like everybody's found their place
And I'm still searching
I want to be broken
Just to be built again
I'm out in the open
No you're not so far at all
Keep saying that I'll never go back again
I'm making promises that only meet a quick end
I'm walking backwards into darker devotion
And I'm seeing everything in slow motion
For just once in my life
If I could get something right
If my words were more than an empty sentence
I'd walk into the light
And maybe, just maybe
I wouldn't be here tonight
No I wouldn't be here tonight
But I keep on
Keep saying that I'll never go back again
I'm making promises that only meet a quick end
I'm walking backwards into darker devotion
And I'm seeing everything in slow motion
