about

This is a song about leaving home and the people who bog you down.

lyrics

-Verse 1-
Do you believe in the words that you speak,
the air that you breathe is of deceit.
Gone so far, I don't know where you are,
orbit another star but it's not ours.

-Pre-chorus-
So why do you even try to change my ways.
I'll spread my wings and fly out of my cage.
You've got to empathize, see another way.
Sit and close your eyes, let go of the rage.

-Chorus-
Someday you'll look over your shoulder,
gazing so expectantly, seeking out an enemy.
It won't be me, looking you back in the eye.
Every day I get a little older,
that's a technicality when living in reality.
Can't you see, I've got to move on with my life.

-Verse 2-
I am hypnotized by the ocean tides,
they carry away our minds, satisfied.
A note encased in glass, will never be unmasked.
Think that you've got class, you throw it back.
