I walked green miles of jungle / i walked through yellow miles of pain
I crossed starvation's desert / watched dead rivers swell with rain
The song of insects filled the air / nights in cites of despair
Where killer's sons said, son beware / and all the roads from here to there
I sailed the sea of desolation / dropped my anchor there
Plumbed the depths of isolation / walked its length and was not scared
Went from end to end to end / and then from there i went again
The road that only this one knows / off to nowhere here i go
Illumination comes so hard / makes me see but leaves its scars
At times i wish that i didn't know what i know now
Thought and thought until i lost my mind
Looked and looked until i went near blind
The path is fair but so unkind
At night the highway's diesel roar / speaks to me and tells me more
Than any book i've ever read / or anything you ever said
With silent eyes inside / i watch myself and worlds collide
The seasons burn and crack my skin / i stay outside and live within
