about

“Other pearls on The Barrio Sessions include “Walk Away,” which begins as a softly sung number and climaxes as something close to a primal confessional. As Ms. George nearly cries out, “Stepping through the wreckage, all I felt was pain…never felt safe, never felt sane,” the listener is drawn in and feels some of the same pain that she experienced, which is the mark of an excellent songwriter: taking something personal and making it universal.” - JOHN M. BORACK, GOLDMINE MAGAZINE (DEC 31, 2014)

lyrics

It takes a lot
But I am not
Really so afraid now.
You see my legs
Are strong enough
To kick down all these walls!

But after all
I didn’t fall
I simply flew away now
Razor sharp and wide awake
So kindly move along
Walk away, walk away.

Look around
At what I’ve found
I really can’t complain now
Is it right?
Or is it wrong
Now can you really tell?

But after all
I didn’t fall
I simply flew away now
Razor sharp and wide awake
So kindly move along
Walk away, walk away.

See you haven’t changed
Everything’s the same
Nothing can be saved
In this masquerade
Stepping through the wreckage
All I feel is pain.
Never felt safe
Never felt sane
Living in a daze
Where everything was fake
Nothing can be salvaged
Nothing you can say
Lived too long in shame
In your mad parade
I played a waiting game
Of everything unsaid
Memories will fade

Like you.
