The past hangs around my feet,
like heavy baggage to big to hold,
and every step forwards,
is a thousands steps back
Until I'm there, where i started
In the dark, in the shade,
in the abyss of my life.
I always wanted a different life,
Always thought there was another path to follow,
And here is my chance,
my get-out clause
So make a toast and drink with me please,
And I will take that final step into the unknown
