And left to page right through the open stacks

It's one step forward and one step back

In restless dreams and awkward forays

I took the step out of the former day
And I'm never going back again
I swear I will never return
I fed the force into the pathway ahead

I locked and shut the door on the unspoken dead

I resurrected only what I could believe

I took the shuttered heart and I made it free
And I'm never going back again
I swear I will never return
Into what never was and what never could be

Beyond what could be felt and what could be seen

Away from shackles and away from restraint

Away from all the eyes that held me at bay
And I'm never going back again
I swear I will never return
The chips may fall  let them fall where they may

The dice will roll but I'll roll them away

I took a knife and cut off all of the lines

I took the road less taken wrinkled in time
And I'm never going back again
I swear I will never return

I swear I will never return

I swear I will never return

I'm never going back again
I swear I will never return

I'm never going back again
I swear I will never return

I'm never going back again
I swear I will never return
