I’m going a long way to nowhere.

Round and round.

Voices keep taunting as my feet hit the ground.

I’m going a long way to nowhere.

Nothing awaits.

I thought I was on a different path,

Writing a different fate.

The long days and nights,

Blur into one.

It takes a long time to get nowhere

And my journey has just begun.

We’re on different paths you and me,

Though they may head the same direction.

You’ll meet your fantasy,

And I’ll greet my own reflection.

I’m going a long way to nowhere,

And the days get worse and worse.

I keep forcing my self to walk on,

But this walk has no purpose.

I’ll meet you when I get there,

On my long path with no end.

And then maybe you can lead me somewhere,

So my long fight will end.
