full circle

I was trying to take the high road Make it cross the tightrope Leave it on a high note But that's not the way it works sometimes I snuffed fire from the matches Battened down the hatches Let my heart detach just To leave it on tender goodbyes When the seas are stormy People float away And it stings to mourn the overboard and wonder Why they wouldn't stay I think I'll regret the time I wasted but They're not villains yet No, they're just tasteless I was a drifter till I sifted through the ash of Fires that I put out long ago Just goes to show how life comes Full circle Full circle Full circle Tried to cut my ties off with fate Begging for a blank slate Feet took me to the gate Praying to deaf heaven on both knees Time has never changed its black spots We're the ones that grew up And saw it as it was A death march in a major key When the seas are stormy People float away And I'll always mourn the overboard and wonder Why they wouldn't stay It's a funny thing, walking backwards You think you know me But that's in the past cause I was a drifter till I sifted through the ash of Fires that I put out long ago Just goes to show how life comes Full circle Full circle
