I'm going away
Far far away
Because I need assurance

I need to know I won't be like y'all
I need to know I won't hit the bottle to mask my rage
I need to know that I am not bound to you

I need you to know I am not your child
I want you to know I am my own self

My mother was a Realtor selling what we could never have
My father was a detective finding his own evil in the world
My sister's were ****** for attention grasping at what they wanted
In a house built for the tainted life that tailored the world through sadism

I grew up there
Hiding when they swam to the bottom of the liquor hole.
I watched in the house of sin and regret the atrocities of alcohol
I watched them sow the seeds of their dreams into their children's brains
I would never be their field though

The meadow of my mind is my own
I live isolated and alone in that house

But I have begun my leave
I have begun to pave my own road and walk it

I will walk away from sin
And never return to that house of regret
