So there's no direction, cause I've thrown away the key
I can't forgive my past transgressions and they'll never let me leave
It took clarity to notice, it took time for me to yield
It took pride to step aside, let common sense take the wheel
For there's no direction but up
For there's no direction but up
I view visions now here and it looks like we're never really there
Put my faith in human nature and became a bloody square
For they'll soon be on my body and the heel of my soul
From the boot that crossed a thousand miles I never came back home
For there's no direction

For there's no direction
But up
For there's no direction
But up
I started painting pictures, pick up pieces from their plight
It's all just your imagination
No perceptions, it's retribution with a smile
And the sea started to wander
And the earth rebroke its mold
When the trees let out a gasp
And the wind, it blew so cold
For there's no direction
But up
For there's no direction
But up
There's no direction




And I taught them to be confident
And I taught them to be wild
I taught them to be gentle
And not always being kind
And I taught them to be fierce
But Lord knows I paid the price
I put fear before the faith
And the pain I set aside
And the pain I set aside
And the pain I set aside
