I am from whispered secrets
And beaten lies
From an absent love
A love that could not be shown
Where the signature drew the line
I am from Cold nights and Cold thoughts
From a warmth hidden in Desire,
An inadequate fallacy, fueling my fire
I am from the broken pair
That I thought would never die
From my Heroes lost, and Heroes gone
Songs sung in the backyard dawn
This is where I'm From

I am from Big boys Don't cry
Revealed as a lie
From dirt on white and Ramen scattered,
Broken on the floor
I am from the witch of the North
Who moved quickly to the West
From the Father whipped and chained
Following in her steps
I am from the broken home
Patched up many times
Where my mind has told me,
Nothing's wrong, Everything is fine
I am from forgotten memories
Lost again with Rhyme
Happiness just had to do
And with Joy I intertwined
This is where I'm From

I am from the Mystic Wood
Where Corruption became my friend
The longing for a better end
I am from the battlefield playground
From Long-slept nights and Long-played days
Too often I made the sound
Of a squeaky Trumpeteer
I am from the Middle label,
Hideous it was
Dampened on my self-esteem
Who else would be the judge?
From forgotten paths and new paved roads
The ones I chose in my repose
This is where I'm From

I am from the dark black lab
Who laid her Ralph upon the floor
From the twice lost fellow Pine,
Basking in the Sun
I am from the burning trees
The ones left in her eyes
From Ocean blue to Ocean gray,
The mask of the disguise
I am from the gentle marriage
Of Passion's soft pink skin
From the heart-shaped wax,
Never lit, once again
Our Flame in the rain
I sang my lonely song
This is where I'm From

I am from the faultered ground
Where I tried to place my feet
From a speck of dust lost in the wind
A month from then we'd meet again
I am from a deserving end
Where Hope came from his evergreen
The last one I could see
From Darkened halls and Darkened hearts
From where I longed to be
I am from a Lonely road
Where Faith has led me astray
To lovely wings up in the sky
That lift me far away
An Eternity in happiness
Has washed out all the gray
Never will it end, Never will it change
This is where I'm Going
