Skate Shoes (Laraigné)

I am leaving today in the afternoon,
an empty bag, a bloody shirt,
my dirty pair of old school skate shoes.
I really don’t care, at this point, I have nothing left to lose.

I won’t be coming home.

You won’t have to beg forever,
when you’ll be back, I’ll be gone.
I know you’re proud and you don’t want this either.
It never felt like I belonged.
Don’t you worry, I’ll be fine,
it no longer seems that I’m blind.
I will try to smile forever.
When you’ll be back, I’ll be gone.

I won’t be coming home.

I’ve been thinking it out for way too long.
I should have left a while ago.
I tried, I tried, oh I tried, but I am no hypocrite.
Oh damn, I’m losing it, since you threw me that hit.

This was a point of no return,
of no turning back.
Now, I exist but I am not alive,
it’s like dealt with a heart attack.
From my neck to my finger tips
anxiety is running through my veins.
An angry father, a sad mother,
a troubled kid breaking through the chains.

I won’t be coming home.

You won’t have to beg forever,
when you’ll be back, I’ll be gone.
I know you’re proud and you don’t want this either.
It never felt like I belonged.
Don’t you worry, I’ll be fine,
it no longer seems that I’m blind.
I will try to smile forever.
When you’ll be back, I’ll be gone.

I won’t be coming home

Am I better or worse than what you say?
Does it matter anyway?
I heard that monsters create monsters.
It could be wrong, but I have some doubts, cause I haven’t been the best.
