Why I left my Hometown

"there is no tomorrow;

all days are the same.

I will never watch flowers grow;

the garden is rotten.

I could lie on my side forever,

and listen to the rain.

the grey mood is soothing after all,

the passing cars not that bothersome.

there is no tomorrow;

all days are the same.

I don't want to get used to it,

but I already am."
