walking away


Walking

Walking away from darkness into the light

Because they don't know

Because it would kill them if they did 

Walking because I wish I didn't have to

 

Why walk away

Why walk to a light I don't know

The light of a hell of a worse place

Or the light of a heaven that should be better

 

I walk because I can't go on like this

Can't say how I feel

Can’t stay and face the music

And because after it all I don't have energy to run away

So is it half as bad as if I walk?
