Hitchhiking To Byzantium

Standing, frozen, lonely, in the dead of night;
But further down the road is something bright;
A place that fuels my need for warmth and light

Can you pull yourself together
When there’s no pieces left?
And can you crawl your way towards a home
Pretending it's your own?

Waiting for the daybreak so we can turn and run
Awakening new chances when moonlight fades to sun

As life became too hard for me to explain
It seemed that I was strong enough to remain
But I was just too weak to make that change

On the other side, lie all my hopes;
That cannot be denied
The promise that will help me re-define
And leave the doubt behind

Waiting for the daybreak so I can turn and run
Awakening new chances when the moonlight fades to sun

I’ll crawl from east to west
Forgetting all the promises I kept
And tell myself that on the other side
I’ll no longer need to hide

Waiting for the daybreak so I can turn and run
Awakening new chances when the moonlight fades to sun

Living life in circles like a devil's carousel
The last of my life’s chances to find heaven in this hell

I’ve had to understand that I cannot hide;
I’ve had to torture myself and swallow my pride;
I’ve only got myself to blame as I hitchhike
