Faraway Places

Do they see me as a joke?
Do they see me as a toy?
Do they see me as
An innocent and broken boy?
Do they see me as a threat?
Do they wanna see me sweat?
Do they see me as a failure?
Do they think I have a choice?
I can feel it in their hugs
I can see it in their faces
I don’t like open spaces
I can feel it in their tone
I can hear it on the phone
More and more i dream of
Far away places
Do they see me as a lie?
Do they cast me off to die?
Do they see me as a burden?
Do they wonder if I try?
Do they see me as a loss?
Do they count up every cost?
Do they wanna see me break?
Do they hope I will comply?
I can feel it in their hugs
I can see it in their faces
I want to run away to open spaces
I can feel it in their tone
I can hear it when I'm home
More and more I dream of
Far away places
But I know there's more to life than this
Beyond the judgment, outside the abyss
I'll find my strength, I'll find my way
In the silence, in the fray
I am more than they believe
More than the pain they weave
I'll rise above, I'll break free
Right from this spot, where I can be me
I can feel it in their hugs
I can see it in their faces
I want to run away to open spaces
I can feel it in their tone
I can hear it when I'm home
More and more I dream of
Far away places
