Pontifex - Can't Go Back lyrics

[Verse 1] Alone in the dark my hearts the only sound All my good time friends left town It was Gold thru my fingers, I veered off track I can see it so clearly but I can't go back Im a vapor in the wind, pushing toward the one I had a map to plot it out but it wilted in the sun Past the bright lights, burning up the fuel of night So empty as my eyes focus on the morning light It was fun while it lasted, lived fast and faded Pleasure turned pain can leave a good heart jaded Sunbeams turned rain, I'm getting off this train Another night to k** the pain, living hard in a charade I just want to go home, but it's a weight on my back I've burned too many bridges, I can't go back Empty pockets, hollow sockets with arms all tracked I wish it was all different but I just can't go back (& that's that) [Hook] My child, where are you? I've had so many sleepless nights I don't know where you are I think you've gone to far You need to come and see the light No matter how many bad moves that you've made And you think you can't go back I still love you, arms are wide open Come home, we'll get you back on track, back on track [Verse 2] I looked you in your eyes, heard the words you said But I just wanted what I wanted and I wished that you were dead I left you at the window, to follow where the wind blow Danced with the devil as I heard your tears & door close So cold, I could feel the ice in my veins But in my head I heard the words you said, it still remains My son all I have yours, these are deadly pathways Please don't go, come back, I love you always And I wonder if it's still stands, want to touch my father's hands Sure ground can't be found I'm sinking in these quick sands Mercy is a pipe dream, your faded words I can't see If I did to me what I did to you I couldn't even forgive me So much to see I wonder if your lights still on Do you still think about me? I've been gone so long I'm sitting rock bottom your love's what I lack This place is just a wasteland, I want to go back [Hook] My child, where are you? I've had so many sleepless nights I don't know where you are I think you've gone to far You need to come and see the light No matter how many bad moves that you've made And you think you can't go back I still love you, arms are wide open Come home, we'll get you back on track, back on track [Bridge] Come Home, Come Home If you were offered the world would you take it? If given it all would claim it? Gotta let go, let him save my soul It's all gonna fade away I need you to come home [Verse 3] Looking back at it, I don't know why I waited I was so blinded by the mess that I created And fear was a factor as I walked up the road Thought about how bad I hurt you, the lies I told My Soul worn thinner than the base of these shoes But I was lost in the world nothing left to lose Made my way to the house afraid of your wrath Thought about rejection as I walked up the path But he ran to me, hugged me and held me so tight Whispered in my ear my son I hope that you're alright His warm tears fell from his face down to mine A glorious moment that existed out of time I was dead to the world with my soul pitch black But now mercy is mine, I could always go back No matter what you've done, no matter where you're at Don't hesitate , turn around you can go back [Hook] My child, where are you? I've had so many sleepless nights I don't know where you are I think you've gone to far You need to come and see the light No matter how many bad moves that you've made And you think you can't go back I still love you, arms are wide open Come home, we'll get you back on track, back on track
