Midnight Road
The headlights shine on nothing ahead,
The road is deserted, lonely, and black,
I don't know which way I'm being led,
And I break from every tear my wife shed,
I doubt that I'm going to head back.
The air is cold, and the snow is falling,
The forest covers me, clouding the moon,
The demons inside me a mauling,
Biting me, fighting me, I'm crawling,
They are not stopping anytime soon.
I did not mean to make her cry like that,
The days I spent in rehab were long,
I've tried to sit with her and chat,
I look at the past from where I was at,
Why do I feel lonely? Why do I feel wrong?
I know that I couldn't control it,
Something was wrong inside my brain,
I see the passenger seat from where she used to sit,
Oh, how I wish I could take back those hits,
But they are left on me like an ink stain.
I wish she were here to comfort me,
But she is a long way from here,
All this darkness, the demons I see,
What kind of monster could I really be?
Death is a crimson red, the end is near...
