lyrics

I want to escape. To the west I'll stray.
Is there green on the new horizon?

I'm so scared of what's out there.
Are there people who are more like me?

Should I walk down this path? Will it help find my past?
Can I really leave it all behind?

Am I losing my mind? Am I wasting my time?
No more waiting. I see the road ahead.

Dreamer. Decipher. Remember.
Challenge fate. The water waits. I must escape.

Oh mother, why have you hidden my past in the back of your mind?
Oh mother, you said it's worth nothing to me. What do you have to hide?

I learn to hate. I learn to kill, I've had enough.
I can't understand. I can't comprehend. Who's the enemy?

Mother mother, I still have no answers.
Mother mother, I ponder till it hurts.

I'm done with all your lies. I curse this fragile home.
You leave me with no choice. It's time for me to go.

I must get off the ground. I'm on my belly like a snake. Sprint towards the shore. Can't leave a trace.
Hop the fence, over the trench. Sneak without a shadow. No looking back now, curse the broken crown. I'm gone.

Steal a boat, grab the ropes. Take away to the water.
Leave it all behind. Say my last goodbyes. There's no turning back.
