Highway To Hell


You're running from your past and you're trapped in your mind Your memory's are driving you insane, an escape you must find You take some random pills to end it all Into a deep sleep you start to fall You awake in a dream unaware of where you are You're on a road , nothings around, not a house nor a car The road is long and surrounded by fire The further you walk , the flames get higher You're lost and don't know where to go The flames are high but yet they burn slow As you continue walking , you begin to look around In the fire you watch bodys burn and hit the ground You begin to scream, run and cry God's rules you tried to defy A deep voice begins to speak You look all around for help that you seek "You're on the highway to hell" the voice said with a laugh You turn around and start running, you've realized you've taken the wrong path You're back at the place you started, you fall to your knees You start to pray and pleed, you end the prayer with please You awake from your sleep , you're laying on the floor You have learned a lesson and so much more Your struggle is over, your future you yearn to find You forget all the pain, you're finally free from your mind.
