lyrics

People walking all around me
"I am trapped"
they bump and they push me
"I'm not here"
everyone rushes as I stand
stairing at the lives
and stairing at the nothing

Every day that rotten door,
oh how I hate that squeaking noise
mother crying on the floor,
she can't take this all no more

Everyday's the same,
father drinking and cheating
arguments begin with harmless words
but end with deadly silence
everything crushes down on me
against the wall we lose it all
and then in bed we lose our minds

The girl who want's to avoid being her fathers child
takes to drinking and cheating
to save herself from feeling
so she won't hurt herself
like her father hurt her

what a dreary blank expression
that I carried on my face
as the breeze kissed my neck
slightly more than I would have liked

I felt cold
it's time to go inside
but before any sight of motivation
would reach my apathetic mind
I sit there, cold
thinking, nothing
I'm thinking nothing
because I don't want to feel a thing

3 o'clock AM
those nights that I lay awake in bed
staring at the ceiling

I'm done, time to leave
with the flicker of the lights on my back
time to leave
stairing into nothing, just one thing on my mind
there's me and this house, and now it's time to leave
last time I see this rotten door, this cold and empty house

this is another escape

I wanted to run
but I could not move
I fall to the ground
I close my eyes
darkness surrounds me

this was my escape.
