I'm pulling up my roots again
Ashamed of things I've seen
Vacate the place I'm living
Become who I'm supposed to be
I hear the voices ring out
As they watch me walk away
Find a place to hide the memories
Throw away the guilt and shame
Then I'll dig a hole to bury
The things that I held near
A life that went unlived
A world left unseen
Unscathed in spite of deception
As the venom leaves the teeth
If I could save the sheep from slaughter
And put their shepherd six feet deep
Time to drain out the poison
And pour it onto the ground
Turn my back on all I know
And leave this God-forsaken wasteland
Without a second thought of consciousness
You fed lies to the weak
Desperate and powerless
As you sink your teeth in deep
