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
