The price of a ticket,
The stories they earn,
I'll never let it go,
When will I learn?
That I'll never make it,
With stories like these,
The lights of the city glow,
Just don't like me.
With an undergrowth of dust,
And the houses around us,
I'll never come back,
I'll never come back,
With a forest of fools,
With the virtual tools,
Might never come back,
I might never come back.
The taste of the open,
There is nothing else,
The sounds of the city slip,
Just for myself,
But I'll never feel it,
Or anything at all,
Incapable of it,
I've hit a brick wall.
With an undergrowth of dust,
And the houses around us,
I'll never come back,
I'll never come back,
With a forest of fools,
With the virtual tools,
Might never come back,
I might never come back,
And I'm starting to see,
This life in front of me,
I'll never come back,
I'll never come back,
To the place that I have called,
Home when it kept me walled,
Might never come back,
I might never come back.
The price of a ticket,
The stories they earn,
I'll never let it go,
I'll never learn.
