Cold Highway

Your life stepped lightly out our hands

When no one's looking out you understand

Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn

The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned

And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down

Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground

Oh your black icy snare once cut down my friend

In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end

Every new version of the way of life

Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night

But whose kid are you when they finally decide

The lifestyle you led and the way that you died

But they're oh so simple, they're still trying to tell

The difference for you between heaven and hell

To glorify something, your legends are found

But all they bought you was a hole in the ground

Years rolling by just like a dream

I'm partly human and I'm partly machine

They've lost you and fate put your name on a stone

Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone
