Leaving Home
My heart went on a roam to explore A place far away across the fence bar. To seize the moment of an open door Adventure felt free when traveling far. With turmoil war, work inspired the mind, There to find, the illusive feign of reason, an opportunity of age believed to be mine. A trial of treason was sent for this...

Leaving Home
I can't bear to say goodbye, go back to that place, All the memories moving out, the rooms empty space, To see it will make me fall to my knees, Lord, I miss her so much, I can barely breathe, Inside me, a hurricane that can't tame its wind, When it touches ground, shaking my foundation within, To put on...
