Paradox
Road to Ransome Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step back and turn around
Direction something still not found
My path is split i can't decide
How can i choose
Torn between the lines
I'm stuck in critical thought
But still i can't seem to prove a point
So contradictory
I've swallowed my tongue
Spit it out spit it out
From the mind to the mouth
Spit it out no more time to think about
Spit it out spit it out
From the mind to the mouth
No more patience now
NO MORE PATIENCE NOW
I've been broken down
Bloody hands and i'm black and blue
This is a promise that i'm keeping through and through
Not gonna back up or have any bullshit
But all the lies that are spit make me lose it
BLOODY HANDS BLACK AND BLUE
He tide has risen and swallowed me whole
Destined to float alone until i grow old
I'll open my eyes and grab a hold
I knew my will was as strong as soul
Decisions to make
My mind lead astray
The compass will bare my direction to take
Decisions to make
My mind lead astray
These acts shape my faith
So reach out and seize the day




The compass will bare the way
REACH OUT AND SIEZE THE DAY
