Lyrics
I waited for someone to come,
I anticipated someone to arrive.
To forgive all the things I’ve done,
To pardon all the wrongs I've committed.
But found that I was on an island in my virtue and in blood.
Realized I was isolated in my virtue and blood.
And all the voices sound the same,
All voices are indistinguishable.
Most of them forgot my name.
Most have forgotten my identity.
They sang anthems of the sycophants, and they made me take the blame.
Anthems sung by sycophants, blaming me.
I’ll make the devil a deal, I'll beg, borrow and steal,
I'll make a pact with the devil, willing to do anything.
To get back to the place where I do not feel,
To return where emotions don't affect me.
The nervous blood in my veins, while the rush comes in waves,
Nervous blood in my veins, seeking relief in waves.
And I’ll take a pill to wash the things in the flood away.
Willing to take a pill to wash away painful memories.
Shoot into the wild blue,
Choosing to venture into the unknown.
Maybe I’ll drift back to you.
Hoping to find my way back to you.
Bring the rains beneath the sun,
Invoke change despite challenges.
Tell them, “Red the river runs.”
Declare that difficulties are overcome.
We’re rogue states out in the desert,
We exist as rebel entities in desolation.
Shouldn’t have given up the guns.
Regret giving up the means to defend.
I’m just a dying man now,
Facing imminent death without possessions.
No more castle nor crown,
No more status or authority.
I’m just glad that I made my mother proud.
Content to have made my mother proud.
And sorry, father, for how we can’t find common ground.
Apologizing to father for our inability to connect.
I guess your tunnel vision is going to drag you down.
Recognizing a narrow perspective leading to downfall.
Shoot into the wild blue,
Choosing the unknown path again.
Maybe I’ll drift back to you.
Hoping to find my way back to you.
I’ve had a thousand vivid dreams,
Experienced numerous dreams, all deceptive.
None of them are what they seem.
None of the dreams reflect reality.
Float on forever, into the nether.
Drifting endlessly into the unknown.
I heard a whisper in the dark,
Heard a warning in the darkness.
They’re going to try and take your spark,
Others aim to extinguish your spirit.
We’ll give them hell together.
Determined to resist and fight together.
Shoot into the wild blue,
Choosing the uncertain journey once more.
Maybe I’ll drift back to you.
Hoping to find my way back to you.
