Crutches

I need to leave some things behind No longer have the strength or time I need to shed the weight that weighs me down Shackles tie me to the ground I need to rip up the map Faded outlines and names have changed Throw this compass in the trash Blow with the wind, that carries the ash What used to work doesn't work anymore Crutches helped me walk now slow me down Transition of the body mind and soul Comes with the price of letting go Friends and lovers never stay They nourish your life until they drain Seasons come and seasons go Change is a constant that we all know I'll no longer follow I will lead We're told that we're free we're not free We've only got one life and its half chance I won't sit still I wanna dance
