Odyssey

Lyrics

It's not as easy as it sounds
to turn away and come back down
Green and red have turned to grey
we've learnt not to trust things now

Beyond yourself
you just can't see
The way I feel
this world scares me
You've gone away
there's nothing new
To help me out
In place of you

The road is hard but we're still here
a cracking freeway paved with fear
We saw our chance to get away
the things we want are all too near

It's not fair...
It's not fair to leave me alone

Info

Odyssey was the second song Crouton ever wrote. The name arose from the fact that none of the band members had ever been in a band that wrote songs longer than about three minutes, so one that went for four and a half seemed like an 'odyssey'. It appears on Crouton's first demo cd, and has often been used as the first song in a live set.
