Take me away
From this worn down place
Cause this sorry excuse for sanity
Is nothing but a disgrace.
Take me away
From this broken town.
There’s nothing left for me here.
Nothing holding me down.

The door is growing larger
As the walls are caving in.
Although I’ve done all my time
And paid for all my sins,
Your green judgemental eyes
Are ripping me to shreds,
And they’re taking me to places
I never wanted to go back to.

But in this house of repression,
We live in the past.
The time under this roof drags,
While outside it moves so fast.
The longer I stay,
The harder it is to breathe.
And I’m counting down the days
Til I can turn my back and leave.

And I lay away in the middle of the night
Cause as long as I’m here, nothing feels right.
Being here in this used up place just brings me down.
It won’t be long until you never see me around.

Cause the door is growing larger
As the walls are caving in.
Although I’ve done all my time
And paid for all my sins,
Your green judgemental eyes
Are ripping me to shreds,
And they’re taking me to places
I never wanted to go back to.
Lyrics to one of my original songs!
