lyrics

I grew up in a sleepy town, and knew I wanted more
Than just a street that leads me down all too familiar doors
I’m breaking through the pathos and the things that leave me cold
This talk of it is getting old
You’ve been raised and been praised when following the path
That’s been beaten well before them
Yet they’ll mold you and scold you for alluding to a question that they don’t understand
All along you’ve been strong in doubting that there’s nothing brighter on the other side
Torn a strip and been ripped of all the reasons but the two of which you have to decide
I’ll make it through this sleepytown
I’m pulling by you and I’m letting go
Knowing that there’s more opportunities
and still miles to go
There’s someone else that I ain’t letting down
and there are places that he’s yet to breathe
He can be cruel and break your sleepy town
Prove there’s a place for me…yeah, just wait and see…
There’s been words so absurd spoken down to you like they know you’re halfway up the stairs
Once a week they will speak unto the meek and tell them their own fences need repair
Do not sway, do not bend into the will of someone else’s ill winded plans
You may go, you can know that there’s something out there that few of us ever understand
There has to be someplace I have to go
and something else that I just gotta to see
I can be cruel and leave this all behind
I just have to leave
Tired of walking by the sleeping stones
Through with the longing of those crying eyes
I have the will to tear myself away
