walk away

I left today
finally snapped the bind
that's had me here so long
can't turn back
because then I've lost

how did I become so numb
and forget to cry
how did I forget who I am
let them take away everything inside

I've tried so many times
to just walk away
afraid of what would happen
if I didn't stay

but you turned me cold
made me who I am right now
life will move on

your words will hit a stone wall
can't reach me anymore
I've cut all ties
and learned to walk away

Somehow these stories
always find a way into my heart
as if I were living and breathing them
as if somehow I was a part of them

The things I can see
the things I can hear
aren't just some foreign imagination
they make themselves very clear

Come listen, come walk with me
they say
come dance with me
today is a good day

It seems so easy
to just brush it aside
without a moments thought
and then I forget, for a while

They are still there
waiting, watching
shouting and prodding

How can I not listen
when I am the only one who can hear?
how can I
walk away
