Burning the Tracks

Keith Landry

So you wanted your freedom
What from the past were you willing to take?
I’m sure you had your reasons
Too many promises you swore you’d never break

The world that you know is not coming back
Maybe it’s time you start burning the tracks
The face that you show is starting to crack
Maybe it’s time you start burning the tracks

So you walk through the seasons
I wonder if you even notice the change
Too proud to lean on
The people you knew who today seem so strange

You only show after the fact
Maybe it’s time you start burning the tracks
Tears used to flow, now you don’t react
Maybe it’s time you start burning the tracks

Can’t you see brighter times from your damn parallel lines?
There are other roads home, still you chose to go it alone.
