The Road Back

The lights go up
I feel my hand
Reach for the door
But I’m stalling
It’s not enough
And I can’t stand
To walk away
So I’m falling
Into the current
A silent servant
Can’t believe I stayed so long
Don’t want to leave ya
My great deceiver
Been under your spell so long…
It’s all I need, it’s all I know
It’s all I ever wanted
To disappear
Into myself
Until I am dissolved
And melted,
Grey,
A simple fate
The flag is raised and I’ve withdrawn
But at the gates
I’m turned away
They tell me that I got it wrong
I went too far
I don’t belong
It’s a long road back (To where I’m going)
A long road back (There’s no way of knowing)
There’s just no way of knowing
There’s just no way of knowing
It’s a long road
It's a long road home
There’s just no way of knowing
There’s just no way of knowing
It’s a long road
It's a long road home
So now I leap
Into the deep end
Blue,
But I know there's something
Out there for me
And what you don’t see
Is how desperately
I’m just wanting
To feel alright
At peace despite
The foolish things that people do
Oh my guiding light
Take me through the night
I’m trusting you to see me through
It’s a long road back (To where I’m going)
A long road back (There’s no way of knowing)
It’s a long road back (To where I’m going)
A long road back
There’s just no way of knowing
There’s just no way of knowing
It’s a long road
It's a long road home

In the square
I stood a public disgrace
They let the women and the children
Spit right in my face
I've been charged
With corrupting the youth
(Is it true? Is it true? Is it true)
Oh no, no, no, no
Why should I confess?
Do you find me afraid?
The citizens have cast their votes
And a choice was made
Advised by men
To hold my tongue
Though I never harmed anyone
No I never harmed anyone
Anyone at all
And alas…
And you know
Oh, alas…
I would rather die than live your lie
I would rather die than live your lie
I would rather take the poison, oh my judges
Drink the poison, oh my brothers
Take the poison
Drink the poison
"When a madness has entered with holy prayers and rites, and by inspired utterances found a way of deliverance for those who are in need, and he who has part in this gift, and is truly possessed and duly out of his mind, is by the use of purifications and mysteries made whole, and exempt from evil, future as well as present, and has a release from the calamity which was afflicting him"
No evil can happen to a good man
