lyrics

Walking down a dark street
Through a story with an ending I don't know
leaving behind all of my promises
With just a case in tow
Without a care at all
that all the old beat pathways wouldn't show
and nowhere i really need to go
after some lost time wandering
I began to feel the strain
Despite all I had left behind
what I kept still manage to pain
If I continue now
I knew there would be nothing I could gain
and there's no reason to feign

Because I'm bolder now than I have been
Yes I'm bolder now than I have been
And these steel locks keeping me locked wont be freezing
When I leave them at my heels
Cause I'm bolder now than I have been

As the air lifted my shoulders
and the wind lifted my feet
it felt so good to feel so good
that I had refused to retreat
as I continued on
it seemed that every man that I would meet
Never seemed as tired as me
Once I chose to remember
I learned that it wouldn't go away
despite all I had shed
what I kept had still managed to weigh
for lack of a better word
the emptiness had long chosen to stay
and I concede theres nothing strong as yesterday

Because I'm bolder now than I have been
Yes Im bolder now than I have been
And these steel locks keeping me locked wont be freezing
When I leave them at my heels
Cause I'm bolder now than I have been

The day I met the ocean
was the day I learned the road did end
Now everything was gone
and I'd forgotten why I had began
I looked into the infinite
and screamed the message I would send
No one really cared to pretend
I looked down at my nakedness
tried to remember what I'd known
time and distance had a way
of turning all my tragedies to jokes
but I'll admit
I was much too tired to want to be alone
So I turned and started home
