00:00When I was writing this song, I didn't know quite where it was going.
00:03I had a vague idea of a young person leaving home for a promised new life,
00:07which turns out to be some kind of modern slavery,
00:09and eventually taking charge of others in the same position.
00:12It happens, untold.
00:14I didn't have a title, and the AI bodgers labelled it Pathways,
00:17which is as good a name as any.
00:19They also gave it this music, which reminds me of something.
00:22Take what you can my friend you said
00:26You never know what you might need
00:30Go while your exit's clear, you said
00:33Keep your essentials near, you said
00:36You'll be in our thoughts, Godspeed
00:40Stand in the trading line, they said
00:43We wanna look you up and down
00:45We have your needs in mind, they said
00:48Understand the ties that bind, they said
00:51Use that unbecoming frown
00:56How you get from where you were
00:59To where you are
01:01And what's what we can never know
01:04As time and time go by
01:06Only know it goes by roads
01:09We never know, we'll check
01:13Anticipating better times
01:15To fill the drain
01:26This is your existence now, we said
01:30To the ones who've come here now
01:34This is all we want from you, we said
01:37Understand what you must do, we said
01:40All together anyhow
01:46I'm the one to trust, I said
01:50Lean on me and all is well
01:54Trust me, fear, know you must, I said
01:57Knowing life is never just, I said
01:59Here's your heaven, here's your hell
02:06How you get from who you were
02:09To who you are and why
02:11That's what you can never know
02:15Is life and death go by
02:17Only that it goes by ways
02:20We hope we'll never walk
02:22But somebody must go
02:25Then take the other floor
02:33Nobody can know, you said
02:37Back before it all began
02:41Time goes very slow, you said
02:44Just go with the flow, you said
02:47Assuming there's a greater plan
02:51How you got from what you were
02:54To what you are and how
02:56That's the greatest mystery
02:59Our memories allow
03:01Here's the place you find yourself
03:05As if by some decree
03:07Who you think you are
03:10Is what you need to be
03:13It's who you think you are
03:16Is all you need to be
03:18I'm so used to be
03:32The capture of the show
03:33As if by some decree
03:35Qui speciaro
03:37I'm soit
03:37Who you think you are
03:39Will
