Mirage
Grieved Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and the past all faded away
i'm repeating my mistakes like they've never been made
been lost so many times that i've lost count
and i have tried to follow a chain of reason in my clotted mind
without it leading to nowhere but doubt
can't stand this town yet I'm still homebound
the need to leave is being held down
wrong path, dead end road
endless deadlocks, broken oaths
been lost so many times that I've lost count
i hate my head and its war inside
i hate my head and the world outside
