Verse 1
Looking through the gateway bent backwards on the moving moments passed before
Feeling like I missed the train that left on time while we were fighting at your door
You know I gave you all my time, left my dreams on the sidelines, got nothing in return
Found a suitcase and a box, packed them full of hopes I’d lost, may as well have watched them burn
Chorus
But now I see the true intention of your mission domination, clear as day
You tried to tame me, you tried to shame me, you tried to break me down, well baby, you're the clown and I’m gonna watch you drown
Walk Away x2
Verse 2
Sitting on the sofa with my cubs around me strumming on my old guitar
Watching smiles break on their souls, I laugh and I scrunch up my nose knowing that we’ve come so far
The musics back in me, and my spirits shackle free, I’m busting at the seams
Unpacked the suitcase and the box, found the hopes and dreams I’d lost, they flood back into me
Chorus
It’s all a lesson, all a task, and these tests I know I’ve passed, well they all led me here
I want to thank you, I want to show you, all the pain that you admonished drowned my fears, its you who got me here
Now Walk Away x4
But now I see the true intention of your mission domination, clear as day
You tried to tame me, you tried to shame me, you tried to break me down, well baby, you're the clown and I’m gonna watch you drown
Walk Away outtro
