lyrics

When there’s no one around I’m afraid of myself.
I’m standing in front of the rusty gates to the promised land.
But there’s no need to be sad, nothing forced me to leave.
Someone considers home at the parent’s house, mine is at the wheel. Keep it moving or keep it still,
You just keep it still.

Even if one day you will stem the tide,
One thing you should learn - an ocean’ll always be stronger than you are. It will strike back when you go too far, when you go too far.

I stroll along the crowded street,
I try to smile - they don’t engage. And I feel that I just don’t fit
To this thing they call a modern age.

But then you let yourself
Be tired of walking, be tired of talking,
Be tired of not being able to be the one you wanted to be when you were a kid.
So you take a boat
For a couple of hours
To see the shores and the distant islands.
They won’t define the thing they will teach you,
You always have someone ahead, someone you never reach.
Everything is happening on the slopes
But you don’t have any sides if you don’t have a top
To see where you were coming from.

When there’s no one around I’m afraid of myself.
I’m standing in front of the rusty gates to the promise land.
