Leaving

So many things I still don't understand

So many days I find it hard to stand

How much longer will my bones keep aching?

How much longer till I stop shaking?

So many footprints here and I'm making more

So many have passed this way before

One of these days I'll wear a hole in the floor

If can't find way to get myself out the door

The wind keeps blowing the trees

Against my window pane

The storm inside my soul

Keeps me in so much pain

When will the bell ring to release me?

When will I realize that I am free to leave?

So many things I have yet to figure out

So many days all I want to do is shout

How much longer will I be held in silence?

How much longer till I let go

The breath I've been holding in?

I won't let the silence win

The wind keeps blowing the trees

Against my window pane

The storm inside my heart

Keeps me full of pain

When will the bell toll and release me?

Will I realize that I was free to leave?

When will I rise up and take back what's mine?

There is no reason to wait till the end of time

No longer will I wait in silence

I'm breaking out of here

No one can hold me in

The wind can blow the trees

Against my window pane

But the storm inside my soul

Won't hold me captive again

I know there is no bell to release me

I know now I was always free to leave

I won't let the silence win

I'm leaving and I swear

Never again
