Escape
Wake up, take your pills dear,
I know it sucks, feels all routine
I know you hate this sickness
a disease, a steady rain
and you ask me that same old question
but I won't tell you
you've lost weight again
the pills keep pouring in
resistance keeps caving
you stare in space
trying to find your safe haven
the veins are working hard
just so your heart isn't kept waiting
and one wish you have
and one dream that you still dream
put me on a plane, yeah anywhere
just as long as I am with you
I am safe, I am happy
for a little while so free
and I forget the pain
up so high
I can't help but feel I am living
one night when you woke up,
I saw you watch the time go
the clock ticking like a bomb
I heard you cry
feeling as if you had been robbed
of life, of time
spring and winter
and the pretty days seem so fleeting
when your own immorality
you can't escape
and so I cried for you
you just never knew it
away from you like a child I sobbed
and in the midst of this breakdown
I had one thought....
put me on a plane, yeah anywhere
just as long as I am with you
I am safe, I am happy
for a little while so free
and I forget the pain
up so high
I can't help but feel I am living
