I want to get out of this town.
I feel like this town is sucking the life out of me.
It builds up over time, and some days
it's worse than others - I think it comes after it rains.

I don't see a future for myself in this town.
This town is like a black hole, sucking people in
and never letting them go. Nothing changes.
Nobody changes. The faces may change,

but the underlying person stays the same.

There is no growth of any sort.

I don't see any change, I don't see any growth,

I don't see anything getting better.

I don't want to live out the rest of my life

in some hopeless, dead-end town.

I don't want that kind of life for myself, or my family.

I need to get out, I need a change of pace.

I need to escape, even if it's just for a day.

I need to leave and retreive what it is

this town has taken away from me.

Of course, the hardest part of leaving

a town like this is knowing that eventually

..... you have to come back.
