Distant (Rubicon 2) Lyrics

Artist: VNV Nation
Album: Empires

The paths that I once tread
have all but gone.
Only embers now smoulder
where bridges once burned.
I feel alive and yet I fear
what may happen now.
I know I can't return.

And I hear me say again
'oh let me not return'.
Damn the illusion of redemption
and the hopes that held me here.
I will oppose all that would befall me.
With this rage inside of me
I will defy what I would become.

The solitude and anger
that do battle inside me
will always guide me to the answers
that I know I may not see.
They are the bonds that hold me tighter.
They are the chains that weigh on me.
One day I know they will be gone.

Can I start again and erase this pain
by casting doubts into the waters,
asking judgement of the sea.
Though fortune may guide to the fools
I have no wish to be free
until I am gone.

This song has made me think of my move across the states to Texas four months ago and all the ties Ive cut - I can never go back to the friends I once knew, even though here, I am so very alone

I have experienced what you have tank girl but don't give up hope. Friends are only a smile, an introduction, and a bit of time set aside!
