My Escape

Ticking clock, pass the time, give me something to look forward to

Worn-out shoes, take me away, from everything I thought I knew

So I can feel safe again

Tired mind, help me to escape from horrid truth

Wrinkled skin, take me back to the ways of youth

So I can feel safe again

Lifeless hands help me create something beautiful and wise

Broken wings help me find a new place beneath cloudless skies

So I can feel safe again

Vacant eyes, vacant stare, take me away from here

So I can feel safe again

If it’s too much to ask, if it’s too big of a task

Just give me the strength to pull the trigger

So I can feel safe again
