I wrote this song during a depressing stretch of work last winter...

I need a ticket
I need a way to get out of here
I’m in a thicket
I need a vessel to take me far away
Away


This existence
Mundane life in a one horse town
Least resistance
A path to nowhere, I have to get away
Away

Take me where I can feel the thunder
Take me where I can touch the waves
Fill me up with a childlike wonder
Promise me there’ll be better days

It isn’t living
Giving time to a dead end job
Someone lift me
Lift me high and take me far away
(you live your life and you make your choices)
Away
(You settle in and you call it home)
Away
(some times you listen to other voices)
Away
(when all you need is to hear your own)

I need a ticket
I need a way to break free from here
Help me fix it
Build a boat and help me sail away
Away……
