Dusty Trails
Lucius Lyrics

We been gone for such a long time that I'm almost afraid to go home
A long road is a long, dragged-out imagination where things can go wrong, but we keep moving forward despite our fear of the destination.

I know I'm no doctor but if I was guessing I'd say it was just growing pains
Changes and personal growth can be painful, but they are necessary for taking control of our lives and finding our own path.

And painful as growing is we can't forget it's our ticket to taking the reins
Though growth can be uncomfortable or painful, it's the only way to truly take charge of our own lives and make our own choices.

And we'll all be okay, we'll be okay
Despite the frightening or uncertain nature of change, everything will ultimately work out in the end.

Dusty trails can lead you to a golden road, I've been told
Difficult and obscure paths can often lead to great success or happiness, despite their inherent challenges.

Can't remember who it was but all she spoke
I can't recall the source of this advice, but it still resonates with me and inspires me to keep moving forward.

Will a penny for her thoughts leave me broke?
I wonder if understanding the source's perspective will be valuable, or if it will ultimately harm me in some way.

'Cause everyone's around and I'm still alone
Despite being surrounded by others, I still feel isolated and unsure of myself and my place in the world.

It's all in the manual that we've been writing, a future instructional guide
We are constantly learning from our experiences and creating our own guidebook for navigating the challenges of the future.

If we skip to add to our prefufilled dreams, we'd be lost without our own advice
If we don't put in the work to achieve our own goals and dreams, we won't have the necessary tools or perspective to overcome future obstacles.

We'll be alright, we'll be alright
Despite the inherent difficulties of life and the human experience, we will persevere and ultimately be okay in the end.

I'm halfway to misery
Though things could be worse, I'm still not fully content or satisfied with my life and my journey thus far.

Some say when you go halfway there's still plenty of time to return
There is still hope for a more fulfilling or satisfying life, and it's never too late to turn back and start again.

Oh, am I halfway to heaven?
Despite being only halfway through my journey, I still hope that there is goodness and fulfillment waiting for me at the end.

Some may say when you go halfway, you only have halfway to go
Though it may be discouraging to feel like you're only halfway through your journey, it's important to remember that you still have a lot of potential and possibility ahead of you.

Everyone's around right now and I'm still alone
Despite being surrounded by others, I still feel isolated and unsure of myself and my place in the world.
