Escape
Pills in hand
Feeling so damned
Holding back tears from her eyes
To numb the pain
To drive her sane
This salvation she seeks never comes for her
He whispers from across a crowded room
do you feel it yet?
do you feel it yet?
She lays there alone, in her broken home
Sighing half awake, this pain she can not fake
Her escape isn't that far away
She grabs the bottle and pours some in her hand
Closes her eyes, reality she can not stand
and from across the room, she hears it clear
Do you feel it yet?
Do you feel it yet?
Everything starts repeating in her head
She screams silently wishing she was dead
Rolling in pain
To her insanity is sane
This pain she can not fake.
Listening for nothing
she hears it again
Do you feel it yet?
feel it yet?
