This Place
This Place
I want to change it,
Change it like it changed me.
It may be my home,
But it’s chewed up my soul.
I want to save it.
Save it, like it couldn’t save me.
It may be where love grows,
But it’s also where evil borrows.
I want to leave it,
Leave it all behind me.
It may be all I know,
But I really need to go.
This place I must leave, I must go.
