Renegade

Sitting here I wonder
How is this good
Miles away from home
Who the fuck could

Leave him alone
In a foreign country
With nothing to hope for
Only his memory

And when that fades
He’ll never be the same
Learning what he once was
Thinking it was just a game

In hope of restoring honour
You destroy his childhood
Denying his failures
Thinking you’ve understood

Training him to become
A model young man
Erasing all his mistakes
Hiding behind a sham
You lie to him every day
And you expect him to call
What is there left to say
He’s got nothing at all

I’m sorry dear brother
I can’t imagine how you feel
I worry for you future
I worry you won’t heal
And that is why I can’t
Stick around here anymore
Our parents aren’t people
Their heartless to the core

I’ll be gone for a while
And I may never come back
You’re free to join me
To get your life on track
My door is always open
I will never give in
Don’t believe what they say
Just keep on living....
