John Bellows - Aimless Road

The burden you bear is the fruit you share
With the broken-hearted soul
That's strapped to your back you follow in the tracks
That have led you there before
And hell in a hand basket
Makes for quite a heavy load
Desire's fire consumes you there
Down on the aimless road
The righteous and the wicked
Will walk with you by your side
All victims of circumstance
When the moment passed them by
And now their idle hands will finally reach
With no one there to hold
Stretched into the horizon
Down on the aimless road
You've leaped every hurdle
A thousand times inside your mind
A thousand different ways
A thousand reasons it was right
But when your feet start really moving
Which way will they go
Will they step up to destiny
Or down on the aimless road
A stroke of luck will step right up
And then pull you aside
As a fool for love this blessed curse
Accept it or deny it
And it'll twist your arm until it falls off
But you just can't let it go
You're totally set inside your ways
Down on the aimless road
Your stubborness will argue
Tactfully that it was right
As not a matter of courage
But retreating from a fight
And now there's nothing that can cut too deep
Because you're made of solid stone
No one can hurt you but yourself
Down on the aimless road
All of these adventures are abandoned
Without a trace to place your trust
Because who'll wait for a coward forever
Just to eat his dust
And I guess nothing is so cut and dry
That a story can't be told
But no one cares to lend their ears
Down on the aimless road
If this world would just stop spinning
Long enough for me to try
To redeem myself as a worthy man
Beneath your private eyes
But instead I seek to hide my tears
Where the lonely lovers go
Free to roam in solitude
Down on the aimless road
But I'd trade all these wondering years
Just for another chance
To extend my joy and gratitude
When you offered me your hand
Yeah we could've gone where the grass was greener
And built ourselves a home
And tried our lives to each other's eyes
At the end of the aimless road
