On Gossamer Wngs Lyrics

You've been set free at the age of 18
Life's path is leading you nowhere
So you bit and you kicked - with the last lick
The first taste of life makes you sick

Hiding your face from the street lights at night
Surviving off what you can steal
You pray for deliverance from this living hell
Paying the price to be free

Living up to what they expect - pressured success
Lies nothing but lies
Signs of a lost soul showing in you
Knowing you'll always be left on your own

Walking in circles with no place to go
Distorted visions and goals
With each day that passes the future grows dark
The innocence withers away

Hiding your face from the street lights at night
Surviving off what you can steal
You pray for deliverance from this living hell
Paying the price to be free

I pray for someone to save my soul
On this path that I walk - I'm alone at night
I remember the fright as a child with no light
Just set me free
Sometimes I think I'm crazy

Forced to accept a life on the run
Fear becomes Strength as it grows
No use for faith when you're living in fear
Haunted by memories of home
But all bridges have been burned
It's too late to return to a house of broken dreams
Nerves are wearing thin
The fabric of existence is ripping apart at the seams
