every corner I turn it feels no different from yesterday
and I may still be holding a grudge from sixth grade

all my walls
I can't keep them from falling down
the bricks are crumbled around my feet
waiting for someone to sweep them away
and pick up my pieces
off the ground

I just want to see the sunset over the coast of California
and the stars in the night sky
in the of a Kansas field
wake up for the sunrise in New York
the smiles of the women and children in India
the view of Mount Fuji in Japan

I want to feel the freedom running through my veins
as I drive through the night
singing along to the radio
with no one to hear me
as I cry and laugh at the memories I left behind

the passenger seat is always open
for anyone wanting to run away with me
And see the world in a whole other way

I want to see the peace radiating
off the trees in the middle of the forest

I want to be free
I want to be alive

But in reality
I need to be free
driving down the open road
I need to feel alive
because I'm sick of seeing the same sunset and sunrise
I'm sick of the grudges I've bee holding
And that every corner is so familiar

I need to feel unknown
I need to feel happy
because I've been stuck here so long
it feels like shackles around my ankles
are rusted shut and I'm not going to set myself free

I'm suffocated by familiarity
and the world is closing in around me
while I'm trying to find my way out

but my shackles
are loosening
I feel the way that I'm getting free
once I break loose
there's no turning back

I'm really excited to graduate next year. Whoever said high school was the best time of your life kinda lied to me. As soon as I'm eighteen, I'm so glad i'll be free.
