Heading on a train to nowhere
Planning to be lost
Lost in a world where no one cares
A world which knows no love
Trapped in a place you can't escape
Caged in and locked out
I'm stuck in a society
A society that judges
A society that laughs
Full of people that only mean harm
Forgiveness is no longer a word
Everything is wrong, but they think it's right
This is why I'm leaving
Leaving to my own world
