Back Around

(album: Highway 377 - 2001)

You say you will, but you never do
Kind of getting tired of looking through you
Got a lot on your mind, but not as much as I had on mine
When you got everything
You don't know what it's like to lose
But everything is nothing when your neck's inside the noose
When it chokes you out and it fades to black
Leaves you wishing you could take it all back
It don't matter if it's wrong or right, it don't matter if you sleep at night
It don't matter how much you pray,'cause you'll get yours come Judgement Day

[Chorus]
'cause Everything comes back around
No matter how much you cover your ground
You spend your whole life running from your sins
Running a race you ain't never gonna win
Gonna catch up to you in the end

Got holes in your story, got a monkey on your back
One foot in the grave and you're caught in a trap
With a falling down curtain that you can't stop
An iron in the fire that you didn't mean to drop
When you live in a house that's made of glass
Don't throw stones cause your walls will fall fast
As those walls come crashing down
Look at the pieces scattered all around
Pick up the ones that you can find
Try to put them all together but you're running out of time

[Chorus]

Broke down and you're all alone
A blade of guilt cuts you to the bone
Think by now you'd have turn and run
But you can't cross a bridge you've burned

[Chorus]

You know that you can't run forever my friend
