The Roland High Life - All of My Might

There’s a long winding road and a set of red lights
And I follow them daily, they fill up my eyes
My vision is wasted, I feel like I’d rather be blind
It leads to a
Clear blue sky and a crisp ocean breeze
And a heavy glass door
That keeps you from me
A mountain of stone that they built up to keep me inside
Well I love you so much
And I hate it
With all of my might
There’s a white piece of paper I’m handed each week
And although I can read it, don’t know what it means
But they tell me that that’s what I need to survive
Well the lights and the stone and the paper I don’t need
They banded together
They built a machine
It’s slowly consuming me, taking up all of my time
Well I love you so much
And I hate it
With all of my might
I put three thousand miles in between you and me
and you packed up and disappeared into the trees
now I wouldn’t recognize who’s on the end of the line
And we speak too infrequently for my taste
and we only make time when we have time to waste
I can’t explain why you seem to keep slipping my mind
Well I love you so much
And I hate it
With all of my might
We spent eight years together in lock, step, and stride
And then two roads diverged
And we chose different sides
Now I only hear from you Christmas
And when someone dies
Well I love you so much
And I hate it with all of my might
There’s a handful of people I’ll need in the end
That’s my lover, my mother, and my oldest friend
And now I see the three of you've somehow
Been stripped from my side
Well I love you so much
And I hate it with all of my might
I hate it so much and I love you
(For all of my life)
