The Beaten Path - Fox Amoore, Gonn

From birth I’ve known little but pain

Each footfall I’ve put down on this earth

Takes me further from ghosts that I’ve slain

And what’s it been worth?

Over mountains and rivers my trail

This beaten path I have beaten alone

Cirlces around to the past witout fail

Ever darker and more overgrown

The mountains can’t come between memories

The rivers can’t flush away my hurt

And fighting though this thicket that’s inside of me

Has left me broken

Down in the dirt

But one day, our paths chained

And in you I could see the same pain

The same will to forge on in your gaze

But the same beaten path was in your wake

Now I can’t say the past doesn’t hurt

But in some ways I’m starting to mend

It ain’t that loving you has changed me, no

I’m just finally going 'round the bend

We’ll claw at the world together

We’ll reap a clear path when we’re pressed

I know our journey, one day, will end

But now you’ll be there when I rest

But one day, our paths chained

And in you I could see the same pain

The same will to forge on in your gaze

But the same beaten path…

In your wake

In your wake
