...

These darkened streets
Have never felt so empty
As I walk into the night
Away from everything
I worked so hard to create
The life Ive built
The time Ive spent
Ill leave it all behind
And while I go,
Behind closed doors
I know they will be whispering
Telling tales
And sharing lies
My name will come up frequently
And thats alright
Because when the sun comes up
I will be far gone
Some place new
Some place alive
The way my past life was not
And I know in time
My name will be a memory
My face will be forgotten
They will reach out for words to describe me
And they all will draw a blank
At the end of this road
The empty road
A new start
A new chance
Renaissance.
