Pack my bag, no looking back
I creep out in the dead of night
My raging, exhausting sobs wrack
My body, I'm trembling with fright
I'm running from you
I'm running from nothing
What you know is true
You know I feel something
The pain dwells inside of me
Tearing at me like a knife
All I want is to be free
Away from the horror and strife
You see me go and call out
But I won't listen to you anymore
And as I go I hear you shout
I can't hear you above the thunder's roar
There is a storm inside
Raging and furious
And I have to hide
It makes me delirious
There's no more hope
Hope left long ago
No more will I cope
With the imaginary foe
Voices in my head
Urge me to think awhile
All I want to do is shed
My tears and bare a smile
But I've forgotten how to do so
Since you left, it's been so long
My heart is filled with woe
And I know that I've been wrong
Goodbye my love, forever
I'm slipping away fast
While I'm gone I'll endeavor
How to forgive the past…
