Escape

I was almost free

I could smell the sweet air from outside

but you dragged me back inside

you dont sugarcoat my imprisonment

you couldnt make these chains softer

but you might just make them harder

and if you do i will never be free

im going to go, you cant stop me if you try

one way or another I wont wake up in these walls again

theres a key next to the poison

right next to my food

a line up opportunity

do i eat, drink, or run

time freezes

and i have such clarity

if i pick up the fork, ill only live a little longer

if i take a big drink, i will be dead in the morning

but if i grab the key, ill be hunted till im found

or locked into the ground

i just have to decide which im willing to do

I wont stay here any longer, the food is not a choice

its not life if it is torture, says my little voice

I hold the poison in my right, and the key is in my left

these battlers are too hard to fight, the soldiers have all left

im not strong enough on my own

ive always needed a spare hand

every time im left alone

its like running through the sand

its impossible to breath

this cell is way too tight

I use up all my courage

just to take another bite

I cant make the decision

its too hard to ever choose

death or life, its just not fair

either way i lose

I close my eyes

and breathe in slow

I can smell the grass outside

The air it so fresh

and the sky is so blue

why do i have to be kept inside?

I take a big gulp

and run out the door

the sunshine burns my pale skin

but it feels so damn good

ive been locked in chains for ages

i forgot about the light

i missed the sting of the sun

when its in my sight

too bad i cant remember

what the water feels like

but i dont get to have that chance

the poison takes my life

nothing hurts now, and i get to die in the light

dont feel bad though, ill see you on the other side
