I do not want to be here, not back in this place.
I thought this place was far from me, I thought that I was safe.
I do not want to be here, I need to clear my mind.
I want this vacant feeling gone and peace again I’ll find.
I do not want to be here, I do not understand.
My emotions are unstable, like wind blowing the sand.
I do not want to be here, I really want to care.
And wake up every morning thankful that it’s there.
I do not want to be here, not back in this place.
I want this place away from me leaving not a trace.
