Going Away
GOING AWAY
A NEW LIFE, A FRESH LOOK
NO INVOLVEMENT, NO WORRIES,
JUST SORROW AND LONELINESS.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE…
A NEW START, NOW, SO FAR FROM
WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO BE.
A CHILDHOOD LOVE LOST, BECAUSE
COUNTRY CAME FIRST.
HANGING OUT ON THE BLOCK, A WAY OUT
A FREE EDUCATION, BUT ONLY TO FIND
OUT, THAT WHAT ONE SACRIFICED,
IS NO LONGER THERE.
SO MUCH FOR THE SACRIFICE AND
THAT FRESH LOOK, NO LONGER THERE.
NOW, BACK ON THE BLOCK, AND
STILL LONELY.
