The Beaten Path Songtext
Yesterday came and went and I wasn't present

The weeks were laid out like pavement

Work and drink and sleep, repeat

Upon the beaten path I kept on my blinders

Don't need any old reminders
No face, no name, no memories

If you love it, you leave it

Because you hate that you need it

It's one thing you can't have

You're too self-absorbed to change

Always, "My way"



Tomorrow could come and go

And I'd sleep right through it

I'm not searching for self-improvement
I'm sticking to the beaten path

Here and there I come across an old acquaintance

Some old flame, some old burn victim

I remember I need to forget everything I ever said to you

If I could take it back, I'd eat every word

You want to feel like all those others feel

But you won't and you never will

All that you love you lose

You do
