Divided Highway

lyrics

I came into this world so invisible and free
No broken thoughts of things not to be
I was graced with kind eyes, though laced with surprise
Who knew that soon I would fall?

The years passed on by, my loneliness grew high
Stuck here on the ground with a dream in the sky
All the children would play, they would call out my name
But I could not go there at all

There's too big a price, living false paradise
My hand of fate rests with a roll of the dice
And the hymns of God speak to the frail and the weak
But my ears were deaf to the song

How I longed for a time when every reason would rhyme
And every destination wouldn't seem like a climb
But my past is a chain, like Abel to Cain
Haunted by what I've done wrong


The only real love I knew was always with you
From daydreams to nightmares you saw me through
But now it's back to dark days, and without sunlight's rays
What hope do I have to survive

So the sky is still gray on this divided highway
No one I've met since can convince me to stay
There's no place I want to be, no face I want to see
Except yours, tonight by my side

about

Marq DeSouza Vancouver, British Columbia

-A very personal rock album. He also writes from a very moral perspective, which gives his record a strong POV. These songs are not filled with empty thoughts but actually try to say something. (Vancouver Province)

-Inspiration drips from every distorted and bent guitar note, down-but-not-out vocal phrasing, and sneered lyric. (Georgia Straight)
