I have spent up my time to spend here
I have made my way through the thicket of each year
And I find myself seeking out so much more
As I envision the beauty of a foreign shore
Maybe a dream I could never reach

At times I find myself in the lowest of this place
Dwelling deeper into the dark
Praying for the light to ark
To guide me to a path that leads from this town
I'll fight it to make sure I'm never the one to go down
Into the heart of the flames

I'll stand up and be the first to start every fire
As I ignite the signal to the revolution
I've thought so long and hard to the only solution
You have turned this home into a hell

I contemplate leaving it all behind
Then suddenly I am flooded with remission
Reminded memory of my main mission
It has been demanded what I must do
But I don't have the strength to do that to you
There must be something so much better out there then me
I just hope that you will come to find and eventually see

Finally I'll make my way and take to the sky
Because frankly I'm just tired of living in this lie
With so many words I've left unspoken
I can't help but be left feeling broken
With out a voice I do not know how
To be the one to relay my vow
I have done everything in my power that I can
