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 perception, 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 But I put fear before the fame, and the pain I set aside
