Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been travelin' for so long, so lost till I stumbled upon
Two roads in front of me, I had to take my time
To the right I could see a church, I took a step in that direction first
But to the left there was a watering hole
Where they were whiskey drunk and now that's where I wanna pray
[Verse 2]
The fight down here goes on and on
[Verse 3]
If I was perfect than this would be easy
Either road's plausible, on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see
[Verse 4]
There's gotta be another way to go, a way that's much more feasible
A combination of both these lives, a central path without choosin' a side
I make decisions one at a time, and no, I never say I'm always right
I'm confident that when I stand on my own
You'll see the truest form of a man when I'm shinin' through
[Verse 5]
The fight down here goes on and on
[Verse 6]
If I was perfect than this would be easy
Either road's plausible, on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see
[Verse 7]
Oh, I hear them now, all the religious rhyme
You're a sin, you're a sin, you're a sinner
[Verse 8]
The left isn't better, it's just more of the same
Condemning all these people for what they believe
I'll climb to the top of their mountain again
No harness up to save me this way
[Verse 9]
And the closer to the top I get the more they take aim
But I'm not you, I may not be perfect but I've always been true
I may not be worthy in your eyes
Climb up from the bottom for the last time
[Verse 10]
The last one, the last one
The last time
[Verse 11]
If I was perfect than this would be easy
Either road's plausible, on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see, yeah
