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

Pave my own road
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
