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.
