i have no restraints
i am not bound to this place
so why am i holding myself captive?
i could break out of these chains
and i could leave everyone in the dust.
i could pack my things and buy a ticket
and i could go all the way across the world
and never turn back.
i've been stuck here for so long
and i've been stuck with
this unquenchable wanderlust
and yet, i have plans to stay.
i want to break away from this place
i want to break away from these familiar faces
i want to be free.
i am not bound to this place.
if i wanted to, i could leave without a trace.
but i'm not that brave.
i've put these chains on myself.
i suppose only time will tell if i ever find a way
to break free of them.
