Can’t find the a new lease on life
In this burnt out town

Can’t find a goal or a dream
In these forlorn streets

I’m haunted by my memories
Most of the time
I’m haunted by my memories
Can’t keep them inside

I need to run
to feel free
to fall upon the ground in front of me
I can’t lie
I’d rather jump than stay
Even though the ground is so far away

I won’t accept
This failure anymore
My history is such a bore

Hang tight darling
We’re gonna fall
All the way
Out of my fading memory

Because I can’t find a new lease on life
In this god forsaken town

Can’t find a goal or a dream
In these dead end streets

I’m haunted by my memories
So I’m going to leave them all behind

I need to run
To feel free
To fall upon the ground in front of me
I can’t lie
I’d rather jump than stay
Because maybe the ground isn’t so far away

So hang tight darling
We’re gonna fall
Because maybe the ground isn’t so far away after all
This was written as a song, but I failed to write down the melody.
