Weathered - The Secret Places Of My Memory
30
Copied!
I asked my father to take his time as we crossed the Pacific on Northwest Airlines
He understandably obliged because he knew we would never return
There's a way, there's a way out of this
Run away, runaway, from the memories of your former house and where it sits
Clear the days, clear the days from your head
Stay away, stay away from them. Leave it where it is, leave it where it is
I asked myself if I could try to leave my childhood behind
Convinced myself that I was fine. I keep telling myself the same old lies
Like I didn’t want to stay
I wanted the pain to go away
But I didn’t want to change
I wanted someone else to blame
And in my father's eyes, I found that tribulation
It’s easy cutting ties but I can't forget those faces
