They say that outside The past is not right It only paints shades of the wind The distance k**s the ghosts That weaken their hosts I pray that I will shed this skin When I walk out (I'm leaving town) I'm leaving town (I'm leaving town) I'll leave them behind These damned ways of mine They keep me chained to remains Of a boy so lost By his deepest inner thoughts The home you once knew has lost its name When he walked out I'm leaving town
