Escape This State of Mind

Escape this state of mind

Can't stand to fight

I'm watching my life in rewind

 

 I don't know where to find

Myself when my days feel like night

Escape this state of mind

 

Sharp blades and my wrists don't yet become combined

Don't want to live with all this fright

I'm watching my life in rewind

 

Locked in a world where everyone is unkind

Nowhere to shed a positive light

Escape this state of mind

 

Have I been so painstakingly blind

To how my time has become so tight

I'm watching my life in rewind

 

My past and future are entwined

I think I just might

Escape this state of mind

I'm watching my life in rewind
