I Ain't Going Back Again
We are lost boys
Hiding in the folds of Dark's Present veil
Scrambling and carving out a life
Amid the destruction of lives
Motherless boys
Scraping together the scrapes
Thrown from vengeful men
Who let us survive
Only to serve them
If we weaken
We are cast away
So we hold on tight
To each other
Take comfort in each others company
And share our dreams of hope
And a future that is changed.
We don't want to morph
Into those callas men
Who press needles into their flesh
Sell guns and run drugs
Who tell us we will be them one day
No...
I ain't going back again
Not to that hell hole
Where life barely existed
Before I found my voice
Before I lost my friends
To the same dark side of life
Gone.
My past is gone
Erased.
I will find another way
And shed the misted veil
That still clings
In tatters
To the edges of my nightmares.
I can be more than my past
I will be more than my past.
