Away We Go
In the streets, we walk alone
Down, down, low, away we go.
The stars, they only taunt us.
Up so high, dancing in the sky.
I want to seek their comfort.
I want my body cradled.
Down, down, low, away we go.
Walking like outcast.
It's because i'm different
It's because we're different
"How dare you bring yourself around here.
I don't like your kind"
We're just like pariahs,
Looking for each other.
Down, down, low, away we go
Again, I feel rejected.
Again, I'm a disgrace.
The only thing we wanted,
Was the feeling of home.
Home, that was so long ago.
