Lyrics
1:40In a dark and lonely corner all the time in dark-side inn
1:46Sits a local barstool warrior talking to his gin
1:52Treating past decisions he motions for a shot
1:58Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot
2:04Just a prisoner of the monster on his back
2:09Call it bad luck call it fate
2:14Call it stuck here the rest of my days
2:19Serves me right what went wrong
2:24And where do I belong
2:32In the glow of flashing lights on the shoulder of the road
2:37Clutching at the bruised and tired skin
2:42She tries to signal danger with anguish in her eyes
2:48Will he see the world of pain she's in
2:54Or is it too late
2:57Was it bad luck was it fate
3:02Or a past that she couldn't escape
3:07It's not right something's wrong
3:11Just where do I belong
4:57Promises made crying in vain
5:02All empty never accepting the blame
5:09And not letting go of the shame
5:15A river of tears as months turned to years
5:21All wasted on someone not willing to change
5:28Now only a shadow remains
5:35No one can save you
5:39And there's no one to see
5:44It has been written
5:49You will become all you think all you feel all you dream
6:00Now I'm cutting the anchor away
6:04And I won't look back
6:09I'm starting a new life today
6:19Now I see where I belong
In a dark and lonely corner all the time in dark-side inn Sits a local barstool warrior talking to his gin Treating past decisions he motions for a shot Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot Just a prisoner of the monster on his back Call it bad luck call it fate Call it stuck here the rest of my days Serves me right what went wrong And where do I belong In the glow of flashing lights on the shoulder of the road Clutching at the bruised and tired skin She tries to signal danger with anguish in her eyes Will he see the world of pain she's in Or is it too late Was it bad luck was it fate Or a past that she couldn't escape It's not right something's wrong Just where do I belong Promises made crying in vain All empty never accepting the blame And not letting go of the shame A river of tears as months turned to years All wasted on someone not willing to change Now only a shadow remains No one can save you And there's no one to see It has been written You will become all you think all you feel all you dream Now I'm cutting the anchor away And I won't look back I'm starting a new life today Now I see where I belong
