Walk it Off

Running through the acres Chasing dreams Searching for the ransom of this long lost me Id die to find. Took myself for granted and now here I stand. Sold my soul for "sustenance", The kind I never had. My brother told me "Boy, how did you get so tall? *I've seen those devils licking at your heels,* I'm surprised you walk it off. (B-but I'm trying,) I try! Working oh so hard But I never make excuses For the things I've done. Never ran away, I never run. Why should I have to cover my face? Sins that my father bore don't ride my back or haunt this place. I long for the solace of the evergreen. Reminisce of innocence lost. Where law don't live and "wild" means "free". I are who I am cause all the places I've been. I are who I am, *I wouldn't give it * for the world.
