Never Again
I walk along this path
I walked so long ago
I felt its hard wrath
As I ran
Ran and Ran until I couldn't breath
I stumbled to my knees
How could they have done this
Before I was in such bliss
They told me its a time to end
It was me they tried to bend
I Bent till I broke
I tried to swallow it all but Choked
I left my home town
To live in a new
I felt forever down
My feelings stretched and grew
I went back to when I ran
I run as fast as I can
I run till I reach the lake
Everything hit me like a quake
I stopped and stared at the open water
All my emotions I wanted to slaughter
I nealed down and looked at my reflection
The land was my protection
I cried looking out
My whole life I began to doubt
Every promise was ever broken
All the words left unspoken
It flowed out of me like a river
It left me a simple shiver
I feel so alone
I want to run home
Running home forever
And leaving never
Never again
Im leaving this pain
