Wounds

I’ll take the first road out
In my mind there is no doubt
This is not where I belong
My home has never been here
Where all I can feel is fear
Any minute I’ll be gone
I’ve got to find my way; there is no need to say
This road just turned out wrong
I’d drain my life away, if I should choose to stay
I’ve waited far too long
This path leads nowhere - and I‘m quickly getting there
In the wounds I call my life, every day you twist the knife
Now I’m leaving it behind - this is not the life for me
All this time I’ve had the need to re-invent my sanity
Make my own way through this world so I can call myself free
Driven for a change
From a life I can’t arrange
I’ll go and face my fears
Freeing up my mind
Burning up the bridge behind
I won’t shed any tears
I’ve got to find my way; there is no need to say
This road just turned out wrong
I’d drain my life away, if I should choose to stay
I’ve waited far too long
This path leads nowhere - and I‘m quickly getting there
As I walk out that gate
I can see your fear and hate
Just try and stop me if you dare
Nothing you can say
Will move me anyway
‘Cos I simply do not care
I’m leaving out today; there is no need to say
This road just turned out wrong
I’d drain my life away, if I should choose to stay
I’ve waited far too long
This path leads nowhere - and I‘m quickly getting there
