I Want To Get Away

I want to get away Unlock the door to my body And step beyond it I'm tired of being shackled by mortality I'm like a fly buzzing near the window Never knowing death is a breath away I want to get away I want to quit my job And say bye to everyone I'm tired of being a cog in the machine I'm like a religious man who met God But found out God was a fool I want to get away I want to get away from my past And all of the memories inside I'm tired of happy memories making me cry I'm like a TV series that went on too long Because my best seasons are behind me I want to get away From all of the things That make me me I'm tired of being me and would rather be someone else I'm like a rotting piece of fruit Because inside I'm not beautiful either Please.... Just let me get away
