about

This is probably the most autobiographical song that I've (KM) written to date. It's a look back at my life up to a certain point touching on topics like my father and personal failures, and how it's those experiences that build the person you become. We may not always like or understand our lives at times, but where you end up is determined by the road you go down.

Fun fact: I actually never intended this to be a WR song. I write a lot of songs just for myself, and this was one of those. Erik heard me playing it one day and asked if it was for WR. I told him no, and he said, "It should be."

lyrics

This is who I am
A handful of friends, but none that understand
I can't wait for tomorrow
I'll meet you there with a blackened right hand

A bucket of salt to mend my ways
Leads me back to the womb
The other side swears they've been there for years
Climbing up to the moon

What a strange road we travel
While we watch it unravel before our eyes

The hypnotist said, "It's all in your head"
And sent me on my way
A bottle of rye should fix this again
At least that's what I pray

What a strange road to wander
As we blame one another for our mistakes

I'm not gonna be like him
The warning bell sounded but I missed it again
It's a hard pill to swallow
Knowing that I've failed
Knowing that I'm frail

Picture me now tidy and neat
Not a worry on my mind
I'm sure that'd be nice, but I've drowned in my vice
And I've killed my own kind

What a strange road to follow
As I wade from the shallows and into the deep
