Sometimes you have to rock to your own destiny   And take sides with the life you know   Spirits try to make their way into your mind   Sometimes you have to tell them no      Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road   And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home      It takes the kind of patience that I'll never find   Chemistry of mutated goals   This pessimistic novel that I have to write   Is all that I will ever know       Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road   And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home      To sacrifice the person in the inner core   Is to paralyze the rocking horse    you sway from side to side and take a rocky ride   Until you find your way off course      Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road   And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home      Oh and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road   And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home      Oh and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road   Fixing up our broken home   Dying on that broken road
