escape 2

Soak my wings in oil and set them ablaze

I too will fly so high like Icarus falling from the sky

Don't you worry this isn't a phase

I just want to fly

High above the clouds

Where it never rains

For here my failures grow in mounds

If you keep me here I won't stay sane

Thunder and rain

Taking me in again

Back into the sea

The beating I won't flea

Punish me

with the needle and damage done

Bury me

So not to bother anyone

Wash up to the shore

Cry out begging to fly once more

yet I know i'm here to stay wallowing in my lonesome gray and if I could I would fly away

You tried to crawl away but you're here to stay

Trapped in this place like a prisoner

Fill yourself full of regret and dismay

Soon you'll be your own killer

Over these cliffs you try to fly

Hasty mended wings bring you closer to the choppy water below

Yet it doesn't matter you still look to sun and sky above

Yet you reach for the high even at your low

All to escape yourself

You can't understand that it doesn't help

To scatter the pieces when putting together one self
