Footprints

Taproot
It's dark outside
It's cold and empty like my mind
But who would know
I can't make it right
I know it's on me but I can't fight
And I'm on my one
And I don't get to watch you grow
For now
Held back away by reality
The fact is all I know
[Refrain:]
The footprints, that I left
Were meant to lead me back to home
The distance, between us
Has grown so bitter and so cold
The permanence of silence
Erodes them leaving just a hole
The lights are alive
The glare is burning in my eyes
For now
It's nothing like I've ever been
Shown in my life
But now
Held back away by reality
The fact is all I know
[Refrain]
All along the path we're taking
Never had a change we're breaking
Breaking down i've lost my bearings
Bearing all the cost by missing
Missing out on what's worth sharing
Leaving me with no control
[Refrain]
