Lee Dickinson - Dead End Street Lyrics

There's a man in the mirror who staring back at me
I recognise his face but it seems like a memory
So much hurt and so much pain
Enough to drive a grown man insane

Taking life as it comes day by day
I try to find the words but don't know what to say
The strain is getting harder to bear
Why does it feel I'm the only one to care?

Life is like a one way road; but it's a dead end street me
Dark and narrow; I can barely see
The solid brick wall that approaches me
I'm finding it hard to stand on my two feet

I look in the mirror trying hard to see
But two dead eyes are staring back at me
I look closer, seeking a sign of life
But all I feel is the pain of the knife

Times are hard when you've been stabbed in the back
Feeling torn apart, faded to black
Hurt almost everyone you know
You're in such pain but not letting it show

Life is like a one way road; but it's a dead end street me
Dark and narrow; I can barely see
The solid brick wall that approaches me
I'm finding it hard to stand on my two feet

There's a light at the end of the tunnel, they say
It obscures all around, diminishing the day
Deep down inside I believe it to be true
That there's no light now for me and you

I have to let go of all this pain and hurt
My dead eyes forced awake and alert
I have to move forward one step at a time
I have to release my pain with this rhyme

Life is like a one way road, but it's a dead end street me
Dark and narrow; I can barely see
The solid brick wall that approaches me
I'm finding it hard to stand on my two feet

Life is like a one way road; but it's a dead end street me
Dark and narrow; I can barely see
The solid brick wall that approaches me
I'm finding it hard to stand on my two feet
