Midway on our life's journey, I found myself in dark woods, the right road lost
To tell about these woods is hard - so tangled and rough
And savage that thinking of it now, I feel the old fear stirring
[Verse 1: Matt Skiba]
Stumbling through the dark with a broken heart
All alone at it once again
Seeping in like a feeling
You haven't felt since way back when
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
In the dead of that night, like the summer of Sam
I caught word of the commotion you caused via telegram
And got all worked up
We got all worked up
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I found away over the fear and through the flames
I'm diving in, don't follow me
Stay right here, I'll be back for you someday
I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed
It's not safe, don't follow me
I found away, I found away
[Verse 3: Matt Skiba]
Frozen in the lights of a locomotive
Tied to the tracks again
You said you haven't felt this comatose
Since you can't remember when
Fly off the handle every time we sleep
Straight off the deep
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I found away over the fear and through the flames
I'm diving in, don't follow me
Stay right here, I'll be back for you someday
I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed
It's not safe, don't follow me
I found away, I found away
[Bridge: Matt Skiba]
From the top of my lungs
The truth shall be sung
Sharp and damning
Violently stabbing at secrecy
That look on your face
It's more than I can take
It's scaring
The living hell straight out of me
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
I found away over the fear and through the flames
I'm diving in, don't follow me
Stay right here, I'll be back for you someday
I found away, it'd be best if you just stayed
It's not safe, don't follow me
I found away, I found away
