Walk Away : Words & Music by Don Mercer & Marshall Sanchez

I flip through yellowed pages of newspapers past
The crackling edges really bring me back
To a time where I felt normal
To a time I wasn't sad

These days it feels like I am always burning
The crackling now is more like flames
Radiant waves of anger
I know I'm forever changed

And I don't want this world anymore
And I don't see a reason to stay
So I, I think I'll walk away
Yeah I, think I'll walk away

I'll throw out the papers, and my gadgets, smash them all
Imprisoning myself, home is just a jail of walls
Won't tell them that I'm leaving
Tornado twisting in my head

I never knew before how blue the sky could be
At night enveloped by the stars they all surround me
I would have thought I would sleep my days away
I never felt more awake

And if they ever find me I will say that I don't care
About your opinion of my when and where's
'Cause we only get just one chance at life
And I'm finally I'm alive

And I didn't want this world anymore
And I couldn't see a reason to stay
Yeah I, I had to walk away
Yeah I, I had to walk away
