Barsky - Turn Around Lyrics

I've been holding on to a quiet home
Somewhere I've never been
But where I long to go
I don't know the way
The trail's unclear
And the road ahead's
Littered with doubt and fear

The dimmest lights
The softest sounds
Are all that help me to stumble my way around
And apparitions of those who've walked before
Keep me company
Whispering softly
Before every door

They said turn around
Go back the way you came
Learn from our mistakes
This is a losing game
There's no hope ahead
Only failure waits
Before every inch of that mystic gate

I ignored them at first
But they started to grow
Whispers became shouts
And I trudged through snow
Every inch became a mile at lest
And my steps were haunted by a shadowy beast
Then the wind picked up and it fought me back
With water in my eyes I fell off track
And all around me everyone I knew
Joined hands and sang a familiar tune

They said turn around
Go back the way you came
Learn from our mistakes
This is a losing game
There's no hope ahead
Only failure waits
Before every inch of that mystic gate

Still I trudged on
Despite their crushing tune
Despite the weight of the rock
I think I'll be there soon
Can't be much further now
Now that I've come so far
Now that I wear with pride
Every single scar
But then the ground gave way
And I went falling through
I hit the floor in the darkest room
I'd ever been before
Only thing to see
Mirrors on every side
All reflections of me

They said turn around
Go back the way you came
Learn from our mistakes
This is a losing game
There's no hope ahead
Only failure waits
Before every inch of that mystic gate
