six thousand miles to go
rerunning circles of my life
wishing i could live in a melody
a memory
but there's a few sour notes
i can't get rid of
i lose myself in the scene
picture myself, wasn't me
then nightmares became so serene
family reunion alone
i reminisce with the bones
of wet dreams, and ashes, and tombstones
six thousand miles to go
fumbling my hopes
as the world sinks its teeth into me
reality is a bastard
it would take an ocean to quench my dreams
faces of friends
they appear on the waves
as we wander from cradle to grave
the transition is what we live through
i lose myself in the scene
picture myself, wasn't me
then nightmares became so serene
family reunion alone
i reminisce with the bones
of wet dreams, and ashes, and tombstones
the world, you see
it has become agony
is everything swallowing me?
is everything swallowing me?
six thousand miles to go
dulling the colours of my life
six thousand miles to go
somewhere between the best years of my life and my death
i wake everyday
to see if anything's changed
hey now!
i've got to get out of here
i'm coming out of my shell
to dance in the battleground
and sing to the slaughter
and suffering waste...
far away
(what a waste)
far away
(what a waste)...
