Viewing lyrics for End of the Road (Devil Take The Hindmost 2011) by James Keyes.

You're having one last moment before the sun begins to rise
and all the day can bring you boy is just another smile
The silence brings you closer to the thoughts you wish you had
The sky is turning purple and the highway can't look back
Never thought a day like this would end up in your mind
Seven days of freedom were just too hard to find
Now you're standing there guessing paralyzed down to you feet
The fear of having all you're time has become reality

There's no safety net to catch your fall, just you and gravity
A thousand faces scowl at you from your memories
The undertaker is waiting with a wrist watch on his bones
Whispering that it's not too late if you want to head back home
You're finding inconsistency with the voices in your head
You wish to god they'd help you out but they're so selfish now instead
It used to be they'd warn you about mutual concerns
All for one and one for all, can't let this body burn

Well you drive into town looking for a place to sleep
All the signs say keep on moving there's nothing here for free
When all the people turn their heads and walk away from you
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do
There's no gas at the station, no booze in the bar
The church is closed the lights are off and Main St is going dark
There's just one bum hanging out and you ask him which way to go
He says "This is it stranger, it's the end of the road"
