Turn For The Worse

I was on that mountain road, in the middle of the night
I was on my way back home, and I was heading for the light
Things were looking pretty good,how was I to know of the curse
That was waiting for me when, things took a turn for the worse
I have known a friend or two, and we have gone our separate ways
But I never thought it would be you, who would condemn me in this way
To think about the way things are right now
To think that you were right there from the first
To not know a soul in your own town
When things take a turn for the worse
Overcome by a dream that should have been long dead
I'm buried a lifetime deep, in every single word that has still not been said
To stand with both feet in this world and live a lie still unrevealed
To talk of wisdom and it's pearls as if you know the way it feels
To have to trust in someone else's crowd
To scandalize with just one verse
To have to smile on your way down
When things take a turn for the worse
