Jason Rector - Hell-Bent Avenue Lyrics

Trying to find the greater place
Where tangled minds find their shape
Where hidden souls go to find their face
Tell me when the time will come
When life makes sense and I'll become
Satisfied with all that I've done
It seems to me that destiny
Might just be my enemy
Tearing me apart
Not knowing where to start
I only know that time won't slow
I'll design my fate and hope a legacy grows
Simplified by what I know
Satisfied even though
I keep painting dark skies
With the canvas of my life
But staying true might get me through
These crossroads on Hell-Bent Avenue
Behind closed eyes there could be a door
That might show me what I'm really looking for
Cuz I can't see what's inside of me anymore
I can hear it scream from within my soul
A resting place now I can't control
A thirst of worth and paying back my toll
Maybe I could see my destiny
Was only trying to free me
From tearing myself apart
Making this were I start
Now I know that time will show
That by design my fate holds a legacy rose
Fortified by roots I've grown
Versified even though
I keep painting dark skies
With the canvas of my life
But staying true will get me through
These crossroads on Hell-Bent Avenue
It's a long hard road with so far to go
With deceit at every bend
Gotta keep looking straight and follow my fate
I'll be there soon my friend
I'll be painting sunrise skies
With the canvas of my life
Staying true will get me through
These crossroads on Hell-Bent Avenue
Staying true will get me through
These crossroads on Hell-Bent Avenue
