Roads
from Amity by A Ghost in the Machine
lyrics
My life has been turned upside down
A secret held with the most serious
Of repercussions
This road we travel brings weary eyes
A testament to trying times
But I will never rest
Until I have my vengeance
Desensitized
Staring into every pair of lifeless eyes
My dreams can never be realized
In my mind
I've conjured up another safety net of lies
False hope is all that's left
My hands are stained with the blood of my victims
Their last glimpse of this world was of my smoking gun
But the burden is mine alone
I will not lead him down a path
For which he can't atone
Is there still hope for our broken lives?
Or am I chasing after amity that I'll never find?
I have inherited all of your crimes
I cannot feel my heart tonight
I need the chance to find myself despite this madness
This world is spinning and I'm searching for a little balance
I need your guidance to survive
What have you done?
The sins of a father, should never punish his son.
These 6 weeks have left us tested (Can you feel your broken heart return to life?)
I have felt the cold embrace of revenge
I now search for a place to rest my heavy head (These are our final moments)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Can you feel your withered body slowly die?)
Please live a life of peace
So I can pass with my mind at ease (Your mind's at ease)
A secret held with the most serious
Of repercussions
This road we travel brings weary eyes
A testament to trying times
But I will never rest
Until I have my vengeance
Desensitized
Staring into every pair of lifeless eyes
My dreams can never be realized
In my mind
I've conjured up another safety net of lies
False hope is all that's left
My hands are stained with the blood of my victims
Their last glimpse of this world was of my smoking gun
But the burden is mine alone
I will not lead him down a path
For which he can't atone
Is there still hope for our broken lives?
Or am I chasing after amity that I'll never find?
I have inherited all of your crimes
I cannot feel my heart tonight
I need the chance to find myself despite this madness
This world is spinning and I'm searching for a little balance
I need your guidance to survive
What have you done?
The sins of a father, should never punish his son.
These 6 weeks have left us tested (Can you feel your broken heart return to life?)
I have felt the cold embrace of revenge
I now search for a place to rest my heavy head (These are our final moments)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Can you feel your withered body slowly die?)
Please live a life of peace
So I can pass with my mind at ease (Your mind's at ease)
