The Escape Artist

Wasted time on wasted effort It pulls me under Keeps us under Suffocates us longer than you know My nightmares seem endless It wakes me faster Kills me faster Tears me faster from The truth A meaningless obstruction Of the values that we seek A subtle replacement of The man I could never be Take me Away from here I can't I can't breath here The time has come I won't see the dawn Ever again The time has come Curtains are drawn Take me away Wasted time on broken promises It's my fault I know it's my fault And I can't let it go A monument of my guilt I put upon a pedestal An ode to all the things That I've done wrong Just scratching the surface Of the floor where I laid my head Sick from the pain Sick from the pills Sick from the things Inside my head Take me Away from here I can't I can't breath here The time has come I won't see the dawn Ever again The time has come Curtains are drawn Take me away I'm suffocating I'm suffocating I'm suffocating Take me Away from here I can't I can't breath here The time has come I won't see the dawn Ever again The time has come Curtains are drawn Take me away
