One day I'll live the rural life
I will not be denied
I'll live my life in solitude
Atop the mountainside
In isolation, tucked away
Found just by those who seek
Heard by those who understand
Who share my same mystique
Regrets, my past, all left behind
All tossed into a fire
Let them burn, forget them all
Grow old in peace, retire
I will find myself again
Retake my mind, my pride
My innocence, my ignorance
Atop the mountainside
The people, I'll have left behind
The ones that I can't stand
And those who I can tolerate
In a foreign, distant land
I will keep my values safe
Be all that I can be
And I will stay out of their way
I'll keep them safe from me
I'll never fix what broke in me
God knows I have tried
I'll go where that's irrelevant
Atop the mountainside
