Into The Wild

I 'll keep this wisdom in my flesh,
I leave here believing more than I had.
N ature drunk and high,
suddenly swallowed by signs,
T urning mistakes into gold,
when I'm alone I'll be better off than I was before;
O n bended knee is no way to be free,
got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my
thoughts.

T here's nothing left to be concealed,
I will always be better than before,
H olding me like gravity are places that pull -
why sleep in discontent? Oh the price of
companionship,
E veryone I come across in cages they've bought;
watch me leave it all behind, far behind.

W ind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere,
I'll take this soul that's inside me now,
I know all the rules, but the rules did not know me,
burning black holes in dark memories,
L ifting up an empty cup I ask silently,
society, I hope you're not lonely without me?
D on't come closer or I'll have to go,
setting forth in the universe.

Into the Wild I have ventured,
Further than all have dared,
To finally realise that happiness is
Only real when it is shared.
