The Exit Tab

by Forgive Durden


                             
Look at all that which surrounds me
                          
I'm supposed to call this home
                             
The dark has become so overwhelming
            
So why don't I just go

                                /maj7
Why can't you be more like your brother

Together you would rule the throne

The evil and darkness would grow

This kingdom needs you

                                  
"Why can't you just be more like Pallis?" they always ask
                          
Could this feeling deep in me be the prophecy?
                       
As a child I heard such wonderful stories
                             
Of lamps, and the oracle, and holy the sea


Silly boy, you speak of fiction
              /maj7     
Silly boy, you can't just leave them
                               
Reaching for some fairy tale ending

Myth or legend

                   
Oh, what's the use maybe they're right

What's the point of dreaming
             
If it can never materialize?

Townsfolk are ashamed
                           
Why can't I live up to my family name?
                              
Well it's not me, but you see it's just my pedigree

                              /maj7
You're a reckless and romantic rogue
                      
Your head is in the clouds
                                  
You'll be chained here all your life

Shackled to the ground

You're not the chosen one

                               
Don't you ever dream of some place better
                
Or a life that's greater
                                
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
                                    
For something bigger than your skin?


You are so foolish
     
The dark has been your home

If you elope, I'll hunt you
        
Through suffering you'll atone


Dear Pallis, you're my brother
     
You looked and watched over me

But there's something bigger at stake

My purpose is this journey


Brother, you are shortsighted

Naive and starry-eyed

You are not the chosen one
     
This will be your demise


Brother, I can't help this feeling
    
My heart tells me to run

You were meant to rule the dark

I was meant to see the sun

                               
Don't you ever dream of some place better
                
When the light shines brighter?
                                
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
                                    
For something bigger than your skin?
          
I think I'll just go






(HAVE FUN!!)
