I've been around, long enough
To see what people hide, when life gets rough
And I know cause I've felt it all, a life time ago
Cause I'm lost and now one seems to know
Where the exit signs point to a forgotten place
How long you have to make eye contact to really see a face
It's been a long time, since I've seen any direction
And I've spent many night in the deepest introspection
And came up empty, both palms raised
And now the rain drops fall and I walk unfazed
Continuing to move forward, In these warn out shoes
If only you knew what it felt like to be the one that left you

Day 341: Minnesota
Written to this song. Don't breathe.
I'm gonna run away today
To a forgotten peaceful place
Where no one knows my name
But everyone can recognize my face
They say it's the land of ten thousand
Lakes which might just be enough to
Drown the 10,000 mistakes I
Made before I left this town
So I'll wake up before the sun can
Rise and jump into my car and
Drive and leave behind all that I
Own for someone else to find
I've had it up to here with holding
On to things I couldn't own
To trying hard to make this awkward
Place feel more like it's my home
To those who wonder where I went
I wish I coulda told ya but I'm
Gone and if you're looking for me
Look to Minnesota
I'm gonna run away today
To a forgotten peaceful place
Where no one knows my name
But everyone can recognize my face
They say it's the land of ten thousand
Lakes which might just be enough to
Drown the 10,000 mistakes I
Made before I left this town
So I'll wake up before the sun can
Rise and jump into my car and
Drive and leave behind all that I
Own for someone else to find
I've had it up to here with holding
On to things I couldn't own
To trying hard to make this awkward
Place feel more like it's my home
To those who wonder where I went
I wish I coulda told ya but I'm
Gone and if you're looking for me
Look to Minnesota
