Lyrics
Super 8
Celluloid
Home grown movie of a bleach blonde child
Crazy smile dancing wild and free
Somewhere in the 1970's

Before the fear
Before the doubt
Before the war
Before the falling out
Before the present day version of me
About as broken as anyone can be

But I am returning once again
As I feel my will begin to bend

But it's gonna take some time
To walk this roller coaster road of my mind
To straighten out this winding path
To learn to love myself at last...for me
Leave this dusty dirty trail of mine behind
The roller coaster road of my mind

Junior high
Winter woods
My friends and I never felt so good
While cells and sense and fear disappeared
Chase it down down down with another beer

Invincible
Nearly dead
Fourteen forever only in my head
I may make fifeteen by the next year
I'm just waiting for this moment to clear

I can never return again
The running has to come to an end

Liquid mood
Solitude
Got to make it through
These testy highs and lows
I found myself a window for a while
Gave myself a standing mistrial

I saw the trees
Felt a breeze
Took the time to get on my stubborn knees
And surrenderd to an all knowing smile
Maybe I can walk another mile

Cause maybe I don't really walk alone
I got a feeling that I'm coming home
