    Default Road Signs

    This seems kinda poor, but it was sitting on a heavy gray cloud in my mind, so I wrote it ...

    Road signs
    Read like a map
    And your designs
    Were like a trap
    Where were you going
    I got your words
    But then you showed
    Something else, that burned
    It was so absurd
    That it made me turn
    In the wrong direction
    Then like a frog in dissection
    I laid in pieces
    For no good reason
    You twisted my mind
    With your road signs

    Road signs to destruction
    Someone else took instruction
    Read your map and your mind
    Now I'm on a lonely road dyin for you

    I'm in the wrong place
    With memories that disgrace
    That sweet thing we had
    It's just so damn sad
    That I'm losing it all
    You'll never call
    My name like before
    You slammed the door
    The last time like a storm
    That swept devastation
    Cross the entire nation
    Of my heart and soul
    Where did you go
    But now new road signs
    Keep you in my mind

    Road signs to destruction
    Someone else took instruction
    Read your map and your mind
    Now I'm on a lonely road dyin

    Road signs to destruction
    You should've read the map
    And detoured the deductions
    That led to the trap ...

    Road signs to destruction
    Someone else took instruction
    Read your map and your mind
    Now I'm on a lonely road dyin for you.

    Great! Absolutely great! Simple enough, but complex in its own way. This is FANTASTIC! Keep it up, and I'll keep it up.

    Simple and beautiful. You are proof that a song can have a lot of meanings even though the phrases in it are short and straight to the point.

    Thanks Angel, that means a lot to me because once upon a time I couldn't write a simple line at all. I guess all the practice has actually done some good

    It´s nice one.
    I´m not sure about melody in chorus 4th line. It seems to me out of tune. Maybe the last line should be longer.
