Lyrics
Walking old halls,
I?ve walked so many times.
Walking these streets,
Want you out of my mind.
And they say to me,
Why don?t you get away.
Get away from here,
And get out of this place.
Chorus:
Faces flash by my face,
Not a word said.
Past laughter and her voice,
Flows throughout my head.
The walls black then,
All fade to gray.
So many things to do,
But I know I can?t stay.
Time to leave all this,
Leave this mess behind,
Find happiness,
Total piece of mind.
Chorus
The bricks dissolve.
The walls fade away.
A mess left undone,
But I know I can?t stay.
And they say to me,
Why don?t you get away?
Get away from here,
And find a way out of this place?
