1. SHAVING YOUR LIFE
early come one winters morning i packed my bags and said goodbye i knew my mind was made up and then she cried and asked me why i had run i heard the world calling my name had to find a better place had to take a chance and get away wake up to a different point of view look to my better half but i dont see you 5000 miles away i left a life of ignorance i did not understand but to me it makes more sense our lives go on while we procrastinate feeling okay watching as the blue skies turn to gray got nothing to say later on a new spring morning i felt my strength come back around i knew id come full circle left with the wisdom that i found i had to run i heard my home calling my name back to a better place back to somewhere i knew i could stay watch days go by while we procrastinate feeling okay funny how it all turns out when you start to try i dont know where to run i see that place in front of you the things i thought were not true i see the fires burning you got nothing
