[VERSE I]
Screaming at the walls surrounding me.
Trying to put the past behind me.
Standing in my own way.
Tearing myself to shreds.
The time has come now to leave this place.
[CHORUS]
I take my leave,
find who I am.
Turn my back on my identity.
Not as simple as one might think
to say goodbye.
Now consider me gone.
[CHORUS II]
Striking out down this road.
I resolve to find my own way.
It's the only chance I have
to escape from from mediocrity.
I break these chains and cut my path.
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
Now I take to road and my
home vanishes behind me.
Nothing left for me here.
[ENDING]
Between fallow fields I make my way.
I watch a life of regret
disappear behind me in the mirror.
A distant memory, intangible.
Truly now on my own.
My past beyond the vanishing point.
A new life, an unspoiled canvas.
Nothing now left to hinder me.
Possibilities ahead of me.
