Escape

Open books and writing down
Thoughts moving round and round
Despite everything I thought I’d learned
Here I am again
With my whole world turned upside down
I see your mouth movin'
But I can’t help from choosin' not to listen
And the more that I take this in
The more I wanna run
Cause the less time I would have been losin'
Take me away
I want to escape
To a world, that’s not closin' in
Faces I don’t recognize
Empty streets, anxious nights
It’s all temporary in my head
I pray I’ll wake to find
Peace instead this time
Take me away
I want to escape
To a world, that’s not closin' in
To a world, I can breathe again
Oh, God, help me understand
Where I’m goin'
Where am I going?
