Indebted

Compositor: Benny Mao

I've been running all across the world
staring blankly at my tethered soul
trying desperately to find
salvation from this prison's hold

fade away into the back of my mind
back to haunt me every once in a while
driving through my head
you change my world from the inside

indebted to a place I can't deny
is it even worth the fight
I can't run, I can only hide from you
but it's no use

I wish I could never have to worry about you again
I'd throw you on the wayside of life and
you would leave and go away
and never come back again
don't follow me on the road ahead

there's a need to stretch our souls and fly
where our heavens and our earths collide
searching, dreaming for the day
I'll find and touch some open sky

redemption for the dark times in that life
on my knees, escape to paradise
crawling through the fire
what's burned away, what's left alive

day falls, night comes and I'm still here
thinking about you, why?
I try to erase you from my mind
time flies, I crawl on my knees
I'm losing the will to survive
but I wait for the day when hope will arrive
