Lyrics Long Route - Foxtails Brigade

Long Route

With this conversation I’ve grown tired
Seems we’ve gone about this wrong
My imagination isn’t wired
To distract me for this long
I have always been the type to
Learn the hard way, take the long route
Take the long route up
Failure, disappointment, and rejection
Things the people always say
I’d encounter in my life’s direction
Still I’ve known no other way
But they tell me
I’m a slow burn
It’ll pay off, I’ll get my turn
I’ll get my turn yet
They say quick sand always pulls much faster
When you’re sinking, staring backwards
Just recall what you’ve been bound to
When you’re bound to
Take the long route up
And I get a kind of satisfaction
When I see the others fall
I guess it’s a natural reaction
When you’re up against the wall
But they tell me I’m a slow burn
It’ll pay off, I’ll get my turn
But for now we’re gonna have to
Take the long route, take the long route
Take the long route, take the long route up
