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 theif

I have stolen all these hours

I have gotten no relief


My 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 I've been taken for a ride


Why 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 before

This is where I've taken my solace and my peace

The walls are caving in but I am still a stubborn beast


Why don't you take me when I'm willing

Why don't you take me when I'm willing
