Escape It All

why do i feel my life is going nowhere
slipping through my hands my dreams are going
i feel so old in my mind and i yearn to be free
at the crossroads in my life but not a midlife crisis
where do i go
up and leave and run away
but will not my demons follow
it is only my motivation that holds me back
am i so scared of failure that i cant even try
does the wild turkey make me a tad too honest
escape is what i desire 
escape from this mundane existence
i have lived a life relied
on other people's generosity
never have i really had to fend for myself
goddamn it i just need some advice
is my time now
