Road to Perdition by Nailed to Obscurity Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Route just so unclear
Uncertain
Drifting away
Lost in a veil of thoughts
Astray
Drifting away
The circle starts to mount itself
As beginning turns to end
While the walls are growing higher
It's getting harder to escape
[Chorus 1]
In the center of my grief
I am caught
Out means in, I'm distraught
Lost the view from above
I am inside
Look from bottom to top
Nothingness in sight
[Bridge]
A veil of thoughts
Drifting away
Gray in all its shades
Some fine indications of black
Not a single color
Is able to break through
A barbed wire limits me
Razor-sharp thorns attack my mind
The hurt feeds my inner conflict
A tower-like fortress locks me up
No frames, no doors, no windows, bricked up
No way to leave this solid prison
This is my road to perdition
The prison walls are closing in
The prison walls are closing in
Enwrapped in thoughts
I shudder to think
In the middle of a commanding eye
I lose my voice
The ability to express myself
And the eye still gazes at me
[Verse 2]
I realize I can't go on
Because beginning turned to end
Soul compliant, so sadistic
[Chorus 2]
In the center of my grief
I am trapped
Every step I do throws me back
Lost the view from above
I am below
Can't reach for the top
Caught in the undertow
Route just so unclear
Uncertain
Drifting away
Lost in a veil of thoughts
Astray
Drifting away
The circle starts to mount itself
As beginning turns to end
While the walls are growing higher
It's getting harder to escape
[Chorus 1]
In the center of my grief
I am caught
Out means in, I'm distraught
Lost the view from above
I am inside
Look from bottom to top
Nothingness in sight
[Bridge]
A veil of thoughts
Drifting away
Gray in all its shades
Some fine indications of black
Not a single color
Is able to break through
A barbed wire limits me
Razor-sharp thorns attack my mind
The hurt feeds my inner conflict
A tower-like fortress locks me up
No frames, no doors, no windows, bricked up
No way to leave this solid prison
This is my road to perdition
The prison walls are closing in
The prison walls are closing in
Enwrapped in thoughts
I shudder to think
In the middle of a commanding eye
I lose my voice
The ability to express myself
And the eye still gazes at me
[Verse 2]
I realize I can't go on
Because beginning turned to end
Soul compliant, so sadistic
[Chorus 2]
In the center of my grief
I am trapped
Every step I do throws me back
Lost the view from above
I am below
Can't reach for the top
Caught in the undertow
