No Direction

For there's no direction but up

For there's no direction but up

For there's no direction, 'cause I've thrown away the key

I can't forgive my past transgressions, and they'll never let me leave

It took clarity to notice

It took time for me to yield

It took pride to step aside, let common sense take the wheel

For there's no direction but up

For there's no direction but up

I view visions now

Hear anecdotes that were never really there

Put my faith in human nature and became a bloody square

For they'll soon be on my body and the heel of my soul

From the boot that crossed a thousand miles and never came back home

For there's no direction but up

For there's no direction but up

I started painting pictures, pick up pieces from their plight

It's all just your perceptions, face retribution with a smile

And the sea started to wonder

And the earth, we broke its mould

Well, the trees let out a gasp

And the wind, it blew so cold

For there's no direction but up

For there's no direction but up

And I taught them to be confident, and I told them to be wild

I taught them to be gentle

All whilst always being kind

And I taught them to be fierce

Lord knows I paid the price

I put fear before the fame

And the pain I set aside
