Leave

Sometimes when I lay awake at night
Before sleep finally takes me into the nightmares
I think about the moment I graduate
Oh what a time that shall be

I'll get in my little old car and drive
I won't read any signs or go any speed limits
I'll be free at last
No one to bother me again

I'll tell no soul where to find me
I'll be gone before the sun sets that day
My friends will ask "without me?"
Yes, I want to be alone forever

I want to leave this land and live on different tides
No people means no rejection; no abandonment
I can take the loneliness, I always have
I may have love in this life, but I'd trade it all to run away

Sad as it may be to be alone
Despite everything I've worked so hard to create
It's not worth the effort at the end of the day
I've given up on trying to hard

So to the souls that stay despite my lack of effort
Believe me, you'll leave too
There's no greater pain than dealing with someone who cannot care
I suggest you become like the rest and run opposite of me
