Lyrics
BACKWOODS SURVIVOR
Written by Carline Maroon, Michael Maroon
Pondering as you sit there alone. Wandering, so there's no place like home.
Waiting for action to soon face the fact,
you've got nothing on Zildjian but the price of a crash. Was it you falling through?
Left of the lake comes a fog as you wake,
all the white-out you take won't erase the mistake.
Now you're feeling stranger, and your wall's too high, knock down.
Release, we're told your trust was sold. It's easy to forgive, all is done.
You're searching for the answers in the sky.
Caught in the wheel, cold invisible feel.
Sudden potential, diminished essential,
passed augmented future, your final degree. Forward fast, make it last.
Only one knows you're a backwoods survivor.
The voice in your head understands where you've been.
Now you're feeling stranger, and your wall's too high.
Caught in the wheel, cold invisible feel.
Pondering as you sit there alone. Tired and hungry and cold, suspended zone.
Like to be free in the wild, to rock your stone. Realize you're lost, no place like home.
Setting the pace with your conscience the driver,
a backwoods survivor can only return and pretend, there's an end.
Lights from the city, the dark from your pity
the blend of the two step you into the blue.
Ride home, backwoods survivor, enhance a silent drive.
But it's a lonely view, and only you can steer away the pain.
Oh no, still searching for the answers in the sky, your caught in the wheel.
You're caught in the wheel.
