The Roads Are Empty, Trying To Avoid Myself

Since BOTCB is taking up all of my free time, I figured I might as well give Drew a hand in looking for the source of a mystery song he posted back in 2010 and has written about before. Drew downloaded it from Audiogalaxy back in 2001, where it was listed as 'Autobahn' by Karate. It's mislabeled, as there is a band called Karate, but they don't have a song by that title. It's actually not a bad song. I will reproduce the lyrics as well. 


I put up to my shoulders every now and then
No matter how I try I’m always halfway there
The roads are empty trying to avoid myself
No matter what I do I’m always halfway there
I am [inaudible] before I have a shot
The blissful ignorance will [inaudible]

Chorus:
Why would I need another day?
I try to find another way
It’s just I don’t know what to do and no one else seems to know it
I’m not yourself and that’s more frustrating than knowing you’re undead

[Inaudible] play for keeps are rolling under me
All this distance, still I’m always halfway there
Yes I had a bad day they know I can do better
A safe return forever from now on this is downhill
I guess I had a bad day they know I can do better
A safe return forever from now on this is downhill

Chorus

I will be alone when it's cold
Yeah I'll be here to hear when it's closed
Yes, damn the doors, and all of them will be closed
Damn the doors, all of them will be closed

The rest of my life I will always drive and drive
The rest of my life I will always drive and drive
The rest of my life I will always drive and drive
The rest of my life I will always drive and drive
The rest of my life I will always die and die
