Highway to everywhere and nowhere

I left behind an entire world

I left the right places for the wrong ones

And still it was not a mistake

I left a solved world

For a giant puzzle masterpiece

Dazzling daydream of change

I’m not sure when it will end

I slept in parking lots

I sold all that I had

I visited places I would not dare

But I was right all along

Right in being wrong

Just as I am

Right when writing down this song

Went against a lot

Lost a lot and won so much more

And it all changed me

For I’m not an anachronic man

I’m just a boy at heart

Don’t dare to scatter my sand castles

The dunes you make

Are from ill-minded cattle

Don’t you dare to cut me out

I drive as I feel I must

And this should be enough.

But it never is.

Not for you or those people,

All the glory and beauty I see

Comes across as mere dreamscape fantasy

I assure you

I married my mind and my soul

I see a goal

I only lack your faith in me

Enough is enough,

And so here it stops

So I can keep on going

Until I cross the last bit of road

Mirrors staring
