lyrics

I'm the wandering charm
The master of none
The believer of truth
And one day really soon, I'll escape from this noise
I'm making the choice
But I don't think I quite understand

A minstrel on the run
I'm adventure bound
Could this really be me
So eager for life after you
But don't take it to heart, some good times were had
So mis-understood, but this new life implores me to try

Will I ever wonder what I might have left behind
I like to think not
This new outlook is all that I've got
And one day maybe soon, you'll look up to the stars
And admire where I am, having run from the effortless path

Coz I'm going away, and I'm leaving today
For the perils and fate of the night
Coz it's dangerous out there, but I'm willing to try
With new friends and adventures to find

And the comfort of a normal life will idlly slip by
Banishing the curse of apathy away

Is it lonely where you are?
See I'm lonely too, but it's only the start
and at least I'm not one in a crowd
A destiny on Mars, it sounds so farfetched
But the flipside is painfully clear
And the mundane is just what I fear



And the comfort of a normal life will idlly slip by
Banishing the curse of apathy away
And the crushing sense of dissonance kept secretly inside
Is dispelled by raptured promises of change

If a journey to uncertain ends is the superior path
Then it must be untold misery to stay


And I won't look back so remember me
As the thorn in your side
Coz at least then there's reason to try
There's a universe out there
Don't let it pass you by
You've got nothing to lose but your life


And the comfort of a normal life will idlly slip by
Banishing the curse of apathy away
And the crushing sense of dissonance kept secretly inside
Is dispelled by raptured promises of change
