Flying
It's late at night, when I escape.
The open door pulls me through.
I'm free, I'm as free as a bird.
I'm free, I'm as free as a prisoner.
I am a prisoner.
I am a prisoner to the world.
They keep me locked away in my old self.
I don't know who I am anymore,
It started way before I walked through the door.
The happiness, the success, that was the lure.
I thought I knew for sure,
But I don't know who I am anymore.
I'm running wild,
I'm an immature child.
I want to go back to school.
But they're waiting for me to fall.
I have to run.
Where? Abroad.
Where? Nowhere is too far.
I'll follow my guiding star, and I'll get to the other side.
