Trails of Despair by Mike Lynn

This is another vocal collaboration I did for one of Mike Lynn's songs. He did a beautiful job on the instrumentation. This is one of the acoustic versions he put together. Mike will also be posting the original version which is more of a full band sound of this song in the next week or so which is also very nice!

Trails Of Despair

Music : Mike Lynn Lyrics : Kimberly / Lynn


If only the world could see, what I feel, then

Would the world know who I am

Down each memory lane

I've loved, lost and feared the world

For it is sometimes too much to bare

Throttling the feelings of pain


(Chorus)

Control is what I fear

For I am weak inside and full of pain

I shout & cry but knowing there is nobody there to hear me

I swallow the shame and anger that lie beneath me


I'm lost to reality

Living in time though I am struggling through life and all that it gives

Still I wish for happiness and pleasure that I have earned

but realize it's only within my belief


(Chorus 2)

Deserted like the wharves at dawn.

Only the tremulous shadow twists in my hands.

This journey grows now to its end,

As road reflections give way to roads with greater bend


Instrumental break (vibes chording)


(Chorus 3)

Control is what I fear

For I am weak inside and full of pain

I shout & cry but knowing there is nobody there to hear me

I swallow the shame and anger that lie beneath me


(Final verse riding out…)

Each road's long, though short it seems,

Credence gives each road a name of fantasies sun-drenched in beams

Or choices turned to darkened dreams,

To where each road wends just the same.

To and fro and back again
