I'm Leaving Home

from Last Astronaut In Space by Pea Green Boat

lyrics

With defeat comes comfort
Comfort in the knowledge
That I did all that I could
Like you knew I always would

So I hope you'll still be proud
Proud to say you knew me
In the finest of my hours
With power in my blood

In all the moments that we shared over the years
There sat a raven singing sadness in my ear

Should we meet again
I'll pray you see a difference
For every sudden end
I'll pay a little penance
I really am trying
I'm trying to grow
And I want you to know
That I'm leaving home

I'd look you in the eye
But the eye beholds my shame
In all my self abuse
It seems I've nothing left to lose

Although the road may lead me nowhere
From nowhere I have come
I'll prove to you my worth
More than the dirt beneath my shoes

I want to thank you for ignoring my mistakes
Despite the hurt in every action that I take

Should we meet again
I'll pray you see a difference
For every sudden end
I'll pay a little penance
I really am trying
I'm trying to grow
And I want you to know
That I'm leaving home

26 and 0
When did I get so old?
26 and 0
Why do I still feel cold?
