Independance


These walls are closing in

and I can't begin to breath

Cuz all these things above

are forever pushing me

 

my only hope in this

is to break from all the rest

to climb the steps above

from the darkness closing in

 

I can't stop from butting heads

They're not taking the time to see

that this little seed

has grown into a great big tree

 

And so I'm leaving

breaking from these walls

so I can see the sun

and leave the darkness all to fall

 

Because they refuse to listen

to open their eyes and see

and the only way they will

is if I finally  leave
