directional crisis... Directional Crisis

what I've lost is so far behind me
it's all so far away
what's ahead is out of sight
light years away
and i'm stuck in the middle
alone with nowhere to go

my past led me on to a dead end
I'm left alone for the backtrack
the future's so far away
so much work being so far behind
and I'm stuck in the middle
alone with nowhere to go

pushed in the wrong direction again
lost within myself
running in circles
all paths lead to dead ends
I'm stuck in the middle
alone with nowhere to go
