My sullen songs have taken me far down this darkened road
I have seen the campfires burning, I have heard the drunkards howl
I'm silent in my solitude, I'm quiet as a thief
I have stolen all these hours, I have gotten no reliefMy crazy dreams and tragedies have taken me for a ride
But I can see strange glory on the other side
Oh, this has been my misery and the source of my pride
But all along I'm thinking that I've been taken for a rideWhy don't you take me when I'm willing?
Why don't you take me when I'm willing?But like a stubborn beast when the barn is on fire
I might resist you when you try to save my life
I might resist you when you try to save my life
When the flames rise around us and I can't see the door
This is still my home and it has never burned beforeOh, this is where I've taken my solace and my peace
The walls are caving in but I am still a stubborn beastWhy don't you take me when I'm?
Why don't you take me when I'm willing?
