The road I’ve travelled
By Thequietkid
(Intro)
One week in this game,
Gotta say, I feel the same.
So far I can’t complain,
I won’t be defined by its name.
(Chorus 1)
Rising up higher than the clouds above the mountain top,
Wondering if I’ll ever drop.
Flying at a height that’s new,
Fearing the fall that’s due.
……
Then I’ll back crash down again!
(Chorus 2)
I’ve travelled this road before,
A thousand times or more.
Waiting for the day,
All the colours turn to grey,
And everything fades away.
(Verse 1)
Few of us know this world,
Fewer still will inhabit and build.
Day by day, more people join,
Some of them must spend their coin.
In our world, sleep is scarce,
Some may try, but others won’t dare.
The stories we tell shouldn’t be ignored, I don’t know what I’m hoping for.
I wish we didn’t live here anymore.
On an island, I sit to relax,
Night creeps by, the water turns to black.
The water is rising,
Why do I find this surprising?
Reality melts away,
And the all colours turn to grey.
The water and it’s waves sweep away all I thought I knew,
Now I’m stranded somewhere new.
(Bridge)
Six months now, and it ain’t the same.
Now I’m starting to complain.
By sudden surprise, it had came,
And I’ll never forget it’s name.
(Chorus 2)
I’ve travelled this road before,
A thousand times or more.
Waiting for the day,
All the colours turn to grey,
And everything fades away.
(Verse 2)
There’s no escape from the water that is rising,
Why not give up now on the fighting?
Every day it feels like I’m dying,
Every night, fear burns from within like lightning.
Why does it have to be so damn frightening?!
…..
I can’t give up! I still have to try,
Ignoring the voices telling me to cry.
Waves retreat from my island, and I give it time to dry,
Now I’ll prepare for when darkness is nigh.
(Chorus 1)
Rising up higher than the clouds above the mountain top,
Wondering if I’ll ever drop.
Flying at a height that’s new,
Fearing the fall that’s due.
……
Then I’ll back crash down again.
Then I’ll back crash down again.
…..
Then I’ll back crash down again!
(Bridge)
Two years in, now alot has changed,
The main thing is I’m no longer afraid.
I don’t fear the water’s return nor do I fear the beast’s roar,
Rewind a little bit, this started when I found the oar:
(Verse 3)
I would follow the flow of the tide, it’s not like I had a choice,
Time flies as days go by, I thought I had lost my voice.
On a rock is where I dock,
To be honest it was really quite a shock.
Like a gift from the heavens,
Winning the jackpot with lucky sevens.
Now I can decide my fate.
Choose the date I’ll arrive at heaven’s gate.
(Chorus 2)
I’ve travelled this road before,
A thousand times or more.
Waiting for the day,
All the colours turn to grey,
And everything fades away.
(Verse 4)
The veterans of our world must become the teachers of the confused,
We won’t let our words ever be refused.
One day they’ll realise we are still the same,
Don’t be afraid to ask us about it’s name.
When people don’t learn,
It becomes our concern,
And the bridge between our worlds will crumble away.
(Final chorus/ending)
Rising up higher than the clouds above the mountain top,
Wondering if I’ll ever drop.
Flying at a height that’s new,
Fearing the fall that’s due.
Rising up higher than the clouds above the mountain top,
Wondering if I’ll ever drop.
Flying at a height that’s new,
Fearing the fall that’s due.
Rising higher.
Higher and higher.
Looking down at all that’s new.
Are you falling too?
Fearing the crash you know is due?
