Stray from the Path
This was drummer Dan Bourke’s first attempt at writing lyrics. The title of the song is actually his younger brother’s name – they used to spend all of their time together but his constant touring changed that:
“I wrote this song about those people in my life who I’ve maintained acquaintances with....
I've become so detached from the things that were once so important to me
Brick walls in the road trying hard to remember
But never asking to forget
And I ask you help me never to forget
And when you ask my brother if he knows my name
I assure you that the answer will be you know "I don't think we ever met."
It's time to let go
Bury the past
But not to forget the times that we had
But I can look back at everything we've done back then
Let go..
I've done all that I can
Now when I reach our you run to your nearest haven
When I look into your eyes I almost feel embarrassed
I've done all that I could
But you're ripping things away
So weak and so powerful
So content with the lies you say
But I don't know if its the feeling of defeat
That is stinging my heart
Or is it the void inside of me that is asking to be filled
I never thought that I could feel this way before
And now I find myself never asking to forget
It's time to let go
Bury the past
But not to forget the times that we had
Good lives when you know there's nothing left to hold
Let go I've done all that I can
So weak so powerful
So content with the lies you say
