Break Away
Court Jester Lyrics

I walk down the street another mans dream lies broken at my feet
As I walk down the street, I see someone's shattered dream at my feet, which isn't that uncommon, just like how some kids enjoy shooting their favorite candies.

Lord knows I need to break away
I understand the need to free myself from this situation.

Now there's a priest on the corner selling one night stands
I am aware that in this city, even religious figures resort to selling temporary pleasures.

This whole city's a garbage can
I'm tired of living amongst the filth and corruption that pervades this entire city.

And I'm sick of being just another garbage man
I'm also tired of being stuck in a low-level, unfulfilling job.

I need to get away, to find a better way
Breaking free from this place is essential for me to seek out a better, more meaningful life.

Sometimes I think these streets can talk
There are moments when I believe that the streets can speak to me.

And now their telling me it's time to walk
The streets are conveying to me that now is the time to leave this place behind.

I've taken all that I can take
I've reached my limit and can no longer endure these circumstances.

Not again and they can't make me
I refuse to let anyone or anything force me to stay here again.

I face the end with no beginning
I feel like I am approaching the end of something, but I have no idea what the beginning was supposed to be.

Then I saw the devil grinning
Suddenly, the devil appears to be mocking me and my struggles.

And I knew I had to break away
Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles, I knew without a doubt that I had to escape this place.

Well it's my last chance to get it right
I feel like this is my final opportunity to set things right in my life.

God help me through this night
I pray that God gives me the strength to persevere through this tough time.

Give me the strength to break away
I need the courage to break free from this life to chase a brighter future.

One time I thought we'd have it all
There was a time when I believed we could achieve everything we dreamed of.

Now we're dancing at the Beggars Ball
However, now we're reduced to living a life of poverty and desperation.

One more night, just one more day
Although time is running out, I believe there is still hope for me to improve my life with just a little more time.

Enough time to find a better way
I just need enough time to escape this life and find a better path for myself.

And don't speak to me of destiny
I don't want to hear about destiny and how it controls our fate.

You've made your point I don't agree
I understand that you believe in fate, but I don't share that same belief.

The soldiers march, the poets dream
In this world, there are those who fight for their beliefs and those who imagine a better future.

Of lost but not forgotten dreams
Although our dreams may be forgotten by others, they are never truly lost to us.
