I felt the power of the present
Having left my home behind
Briefly I held on to that freedom
Until it shackled me
Cut me down to half my size
I was scraping my toes against the pavement
On an avenue
Where my pipe dreams
Burst a leak in the ground
I grew up quickly and burned out faster
My stubborn anger led the way
Through late nights spent staring
And disregarding
Those neon warning signs
That came to me when I came down
Now I'm scraping my skin against the pavement
To shed whatever burden lies
Over my body
There's something I've been missing inside
