This is no fairy tail or a callow dream I’m inside a black and white reality Here there’s no fun anomalies I can feel the fear that faces me
Bag on my back, plan intact My breath chasing down this act Courage compelling me to sign the pact To seize freedom from a lost land
Each step sparks a second guess Will this idea betray me to regret Even with instinct screeching out my chest Follow the present, forget the rest
Pick out memories to make a trail Unload all empathy so I won’t bail Anticipation becomes stale Just an inch of hope helping me sail
I finally find a forest of friends A sigh of relief, I breathe in the end The trees, the flowers, my soul distends Escaped to a place where my mind can amend
