Lyrics

Written by Mark Croft

I’ve walked in those shoes before
but they didn’t take me anywhere
My heels traced circles on the floor
Until I nailed my ass to the chair
Left me lying in the night
With sleepless dreams of taking flight
but a leap of faith was another cross I couldn’t bear
So I’m gonna make damn sure that I’m never going back

I’ve felt the tension rise In a million aching hands
I’ve seen the butterfly Effect make its demands
I’ve heard the voices chanting mechanized,
A chorus of unending lies
but I couldn’t leave until I made my stand

So I’m gonna make damn sure that I’m never going back
I’m gonna make damn sure that I’m never going back
I’m gonna search the coast until I see the light
Waiting for me on the other side
And make damn sure that I’m never going back

Now the buildings look like gravestones
And the wind blows scattered bank notes
And the church bells sing their lonely three notes songs.
I searched all around the darkness
But I found every fire spark-less
and I pray to God they don’t realized I’m gone

I’m gonna make damn sure that I’m never going back
I’m gonna make damn sure that I’m never going back
Yeah I’m gonna leave this boat where it capsized ditch this Ford after I slash the tires
And make damn sure that I’m never going back.
