escape 1

You don't understand how it's really like to dream
You don't understand how it's like to fiend
for something unseen
For something behind the glass screen
Now have you ever felt, have you ever felt the need to disappear
Far away from home far away from everything
Somehow it might makes things clear
Somehow it will make the feeling disappear
So put the key in the ignition and drive far away
Far away from problems that haunt you
Only when the fuel runs out will it be the day you stop
But for now while you still can you try to turn what you know to what you knew
Driving faster and faster trying to leave it behind
Driving faster and faster knowing you can't escape your own mind


Unkept and unshaven stumbling down the stairs
I've seen many ghosts fought many demons
But I no longer have the strength
But I no longer have any reasons
On the way to the grave shackled to stones that weigh
The things that I fought to keep away come back the next day
I've fallen to my knees and put my hands up in defeat
My car stopped many miles ago and I can't run no more
No longer will I cheat
Fate has finally come knocking on my door
Finally brought to the murky waters of my past
I've come face to face at last

He steps into the pool of carnivorous waters
It pulls him under to drown him in his sin
He fights back afraid of being another lamb to the slaughter
He can't even find where the suffering begins
Or where it may end
The shore so close but he swims against the tide not letting go
Getting weak he can longer fend
Let's the water take him below
The thrashing stops and he grasps he is breathing
Unshackled he floats to the surface
The waters calming
His running worthless
Reaches shore
And free for evermore
