How was I to know
I had lost my way
It's not as if the signs
Were flashing
I couldn't figure out
My heart so full of doubt
My head so full of panic
Asking
Maybe in the future
I could make it right
Before there's no tomorrow
And while we've still got time
The courage to move forwards
Destroying barricades
With almost perfect aim
We almost had it made
You said I should have
A lot more faith in me
But every time I do
I feel empty
It crushes not to feel
To hold the hand that heals
But journeys never taken
Stop the worry
How was I to know
I had lost my way
It's not as if the signs
Were flashing
I couldn't figure out
My heart so full of doubt
My head so full of panic
Asking
Maybe in the future
I could make it right
Before there's no tomorrow
And while we've still got time
The courage to move forwards
Destroying barricades
With almost perfect aim
We almost had it made

I remember in my childhood near a village there was a place full of dead trees, red and dead from all the chemicals that were dumped into the nearby bay from the chemical plant. That's exactly the vibes I get from this effort, similar in story or not. Morbid! But hopefully a wake up call for some as well. Aleksei Tepljakov
