I have to get out now.
I have to find the door.
I have to know there is a different place.
I have to know there is more.
~
I have to keep going.
I have to keep my head.
I have to climb higher than this valley.
I have to believe that I'm not dead.
~
I have to sleep alone.
I have to live awake.
I have got to wake the ugly monster.
I have to give what I can't take.
~
I have to rise up now.
I have to walk away.
I have to trust-all defenses down
I have to see another day.
