NO ESCAPE
Standin' still,
Time to kill,
Can't find any reason
For this rhyme.
Holding fast,
Fight the past,
Escape the prison
Of my mind.
It should be easy
But I'm confused,
Thought I'd won, but
I think I lose.
I should be so happy
Just to be free,
But this is all
So strange to me.
What's going on?
Don't understand;
Someone help me -
Learn to stand.
Srandin' still,
Time to kill.
Can't find any reason
For this rhyme.
Holding fast,
Can I last?
Escape the prison
Of my mind.
Self doubt,
Shattered dreams.
Nothing is really
What it seems.
I'm not the person
I thought I would be;
Life doesn't mean
As much to me.
Standin' still,
Trying to kill -
All the poison
Within my mind;
Chasing dreams;
But it seems
Escape I'll never -
Ever find...
