Leaving the Past - Immortal Technique

It's like I spent my whole life picking up baggage Some of it's on them, some is on me and Some of it just happened Because I let all of my ghosts hang around I'm a little too scared to be too happy now But with all that I have I know That I should be happy now I find myself stuck inside all my heartbreak memories I find myself wishing I could rewrite all my history But I'm learning every step lead to where I'm at I just gotta get past the past Through the rain, over things that I can't change To a place where I don't break when I look back Just gotta get past the past I just gotta get past the past People I depended on that didn't ever show up Old loves that did me wrong but I just had to let go of Well, right now it's hard to forget my mistakes Wish I could go back there and just hit erase And maybe if I give it time they won't haunt me the same I find myself stuck inside all my heartbreak memories I find myself wishing I could rewrite all my history But I'm learning every step lead to where I'm at I just gotta get past the past Through the rain, over things that I can't change To a place where I don't break when I look back Just gotta get past the past I just gotta get past the past You give me love I didn't earn Love I'm learning that I'm worth As it turns out, love just don't care who we were I find myself stuck inside all my heartbreak memories I find myself wishing I could rewrite all my history But I'm learning every step lead to where I'm at I just gotta get past the past Through the rain, over things that I can't change To a place where I don't break when I look back I just gotta get past the past I just gotta get past the past

Hay, and a clean stall, And ivy on a garden wall, And a sign saying Sold, And an old coat For the bad cold. I believe in you. Do you believe in me? What do you want to do? Are we leaving the city? On the black road, Through the gold fields, While the fields are plowed, Towards what we are allowed... The bridle bends in idle hands And slows our canter to a trot. We mean to stop, in increments, but can't commit. We post and sit, in impotence: The harder you hit, the deeper the dent. We seek our name. We seek our fame, and our credentials (Paned in glass, trained to master incidentals). Bleach our collar, leech our dollar from our cents: The longer you live, the higher the rent. Beneath the pale sky, Beside the red barn, Below the white clouds, Is all we are allowed. Here, the light will seep, And the scythe will reap, And spirit will rend, in counting toward the end. In December of that year, The word came down that she was here. The days grew shorter. I was sure, if she came 'round, I'd hold my ground. I'd endure. But they'd alluded to a change That came to pass, And Spring, deranged, Weeping grass and sleepless, Broke herself upon my windowglass. And I could barely breathe, for seeing All the splintered light that leaked her fissures, Fleeing, launched in flight: Unstaunched daylight, brightly bleeding, Bleached the night with dawn, deleting, In that high sun, After our good run, When the spirit bends Beneath knowing it must end. And that is all I want here: To draw my gaunt spirit to bow Beneath what I am allowed. Beneath what I am allowed.

More than I had in mind More than I wish I knew And now it's near on me Some rush of red fear And my worst old times look fine from here I know you walked this route And you might help me out You said what's done is done I can't turn the hand 'round But still it looks a long way down Oh man, was it that much better then? We were left alone, we were proud of our pain And so I want to walk out in the night See the wide young river flood rain We're not on one straight line I made my own way through And when the track goes cold I'll know that it's true That rebirth won't work like it used to And oh man, was it that much better then? We were left alone, we were proud of our pain And so I want to walk out in the night See the wide young river flood rain And I can't let go of a lot I've left I'm holding nothing but what I kept And it all got dimmer each passing step And I need you with me, and you read the writ Are you now insisting? Is it not worth it? But I've got no option I inherited this and I overcome That's that, we're a long way from the past I'll be better off in a year or in two
