I say goodbye today
Giving this life away
Ran of reasons really
Why I should stay
Just need to start it over
Find another way
I might come back
But its really hard to say
Something more to be
Is what I'm trying to see
But that'll never be
Too much here hinders me
I wanna live in truth
And not pretend to be
The weapon is the second hand
Clock the enemy
It's now or never
And im too young to die
Too young to feel ashamed
Like I should have to hide
I am who I am
Wearing this skin with pride
But the inner workings
Get push to the side
And whatever higher power
Knows that I tried
I kept on reaching out
But every hand was tied
Never seeing me
For all I am
Caught up in my preference
Damn, not again
(Chorus)
I'm gone, im leavin
I'm gone, I'm leavin
I'm gone, im leavin
I'm gone, im leavin
I'm gone, im leavin
I'm gone, im leavin
Need something to believe in
And I don't really know where i'm going
I just know I'm gone
Chasing forever
So hard when you don't belong...
I used to have a balance
Thought that I had control
Tried to save it all
But dug a deeper hole
But that's just life right?
Shit is always cold
For every single choice
We gotta pay the toll
I guess its time to move on
To something new
Seems I've done everything
That there is left to do
I'm okay with solo
I never need a crew
Less room for disappointment
When its only you
This is no place for me
Does not feel safe for me
Shitty circumstances
And chances just to take from me
Waited so patiently
But its not safe to be
Content with emptiness
And this complacency
My last trick
Is my escape from me
Moment of truth
But I have faith in me
It's time to go
Nothing left to say
I'm blastin off
Before I slip away
(Chorus)
Colors fading
As I stared up at the crescent light
No refunds or even exchanges
I wondered is this the cost of life
Is fate predetermined
From deep within the womb
Or can what's in the dark
Still rise above and re-bloom?
