i asked the question "where do we go from here?"

now i know that in order to get to where we want to go

we must first figure out where we are

we share the same destination

but we travel on two seperate roads

the street lights and stop signs are identical

go,yield,stop... 

and the streets are filled with the same kind of stupid drivers

and the traffic is backed up between hell and heaven

sometimes i just wanna take the freeway

we both avoid the detours

because our destination is the most important

but where are we?

i feel like im on death row for a minor collision

so for a second i run

i am paralyzed from fighting

but i have too much pride to park in the handicap spots when i stop and park

so i park from a distance and walk 

until my sanity returns and i feel like my thoughts are rational again

who has time for that?

love is my insurance

but as the stakes rise

so do the rates

and, because im known to be a bad driver,

love - surance isnt enough

so i have to hire a lawyer

and my lawyer is my mind

sometimes my lawyer speaks over

my heart

so im left with a sentence

and doing time

for speaking my mind

instead of my heart

there is a long road ahead

but a rough one behind

the smallest nail

can put the biggest hole in my tire

but 

we risk even the smallest things

to get to our destination

where are we?

i am on the road to recovery

not willling to stop at a dead end

too many ties i've had to turn around

now

im just looking ahead

even if mapquest said that the road i am taking is a rough one

id still be taking it to reach that destination with you

where are you?
