ROAD SIGNS

The streets are filled with road signs as far as I can see
The first one says there's a dead end it doesn't look like that to me
The alleyways are dark and there's a big cloud in sky
I can't see the sun but i can see right through your lies

You don't know me
And I'm still afraid of you
I'm all bark and your all bite and
I'm still talking I can't listen
We are broken and you're running away
Running away

From the branches and the brambles and the roof above the trees
Footsteps on the barren path and secrets in the breeze
Thought I could see farther than I'd ever seen before
I knew that I was fighting but who was I fighting for

You don't know me
And I'm still afraid of you
I'm all bark and your all bite and
I'm still talking I can't listen
We are broken and you're running away
Running away

Help me to understand why you must be alone
Like being gone when you are wrong and never coming home
It's the farthest thing from love but it is closest to my heart
I'm gonna back up from the finish line and find out how it starts

You don't know me
And I'm still afraid of you
I'm all bark and your all bite and
I'm still talking I can't listen
We are broken and you're running away
Running away

As all the years pass by me, my freedom I hold true
But all this time running I'd still love to be with you
So I'll just keep on traveling down this barren path astray
You never learned to come but you mastered how to stay

You don't know me
And I'm still afraid of you
I'm all bark and your all bite and
I'm still talking I can't listen
We are broken and you're running away
Running away
