Standing on the corner,
Escape seems far away,
Inside my heart is breaking,
So I'm leaving here today,
A better life is waiting,
The screaming needs to end,
My life is full of pain and hurt,
Will you be my friend,
I need to save my soul today,
So please just pray for me,
I need to leave this city now,
I have to be set free,
Tears are commonplace here,
Dreams will always die,
Not sleeping, fear abounding,
All you do is cry,
Strangled by the emptiness,
Promises turn to dust,
Standing on the corner,
So you can eat becomes a must,
Trust is not well known here,
You struggle on alone,
Hate filled voices envelop you,
In a rasping, greedy tone,
I'm leaving here tomorrow,
One more day cannot hurt me,
Waiting in the darkness,
For the one who'll set me free.
