A Different Road

Flashing bright and empty promises

Spinning in a crowded room

Static screaming in her head

Chasing down a phantom bloom

She was dancing on the razor's edge

Losing grip on who she was

Drowning in the noise and smoke

Just to feel a sudden buzz

She lost herself in all the madness Almost fucked herself up again

Staring down the same old demons Reaching for a broken end But

she pulled back from the edge of the dark Spit the poison

out of her soul

Turned her back on the burning bridge

And took a different road

The corners whispered familiar lines Offering an easy slide A comfortable way

to break

A place for the pain to hide

The engine was revving at the red line One foot heavy on

the floor But she saw the wreck she used to be

And she didn't want it anymore

She lost herself in all the madness Almost fucked herself up again

Staring down the same old demons Reaching for a broken end But

she pulled back from the edge of the dark Spit the poison

out of her soul

Turned her back on the burning bridge

And took a different road

It's a heavy climb when you change your mind With the gravel

slipping under your feet

Let the tires screech,

let the past fall out of reach Out on this lonely street

She's driving fast into the dawn

Yeah, she took a different road Left

the madness behind A different road The headlights cutting through

the night

She's gonna be alright (ahhhh) A different road
