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?
