lyrics

Well, I am pretty heavy as a dead weight, so if I am gonna come back alive, I'll do it on my own two feet. I can't shake this feeling of dissatisfaction that flows through my veins until it gets to my heart, and just when I've stamped it out it picks up a charge and it starts up all over again. And I can't tell you how far I walked looking for happiness, but know I crossed a country. I put down roots. I don't know if I'll return but there are things there I miss, and I don't know if I'm home now or just somewhere a little more appealing to my masochistic bent -- but god, I'm happy here! It'll take more than you to take me back. It'll take more than you to take me back. As my ties have cut me, so I have cut my ties, but I'm still burdened by the loose ends and the threads I've kept around. A thousand miles is a long line. Pull, and I swear to god it's gonna break, and where will we be then? Whomever's in the maze will be lost, for sure, and never be seen nor heard from again. Theseus laid better plans than you or I. Theseus knew kinder gods than you or I. Leave me my guide, if I ever come back I'll be right on time. You can trust these feet of mine! But it'll take more than you to take me back. It'll take more than you to take me back. And it's for the better, it's for the better, it's for the better, I promise, and I'm sorry. It's for the better, it's for the better, it's for the better, I promise, and I'm sorry.

I'll own up; this is actually just my other band. Except it's defunct or on hiatus or something. We haven't really talked about the status. But it is hardcore punk! Yeah! WWHRD? fel
