Lyrics

Adventures Close to Home

Passion that shouts

And red with anger

I lost myself

Through alleys of mysteries

I went up and down

Like a demented train

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love

I follow hate

Searching for something

That makes makes hearts move

I found myself

But my best possession

Walked in to the shade

And threaten to drift away

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love

I follow hate

Full of myself

I left you behind

As if I could, possessed by Quixote's dream

Went to fight dragons in the land of concrete

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love

I follow hate

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love

I follow hate

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love

I follow hate
