I Need To Get Away

I really would like to just vanish and disappear Run far away, to an abandoned village or a deserted town or a forest in the middle of nowhere Take me to a place hidden away from the eyes of tomorrow A place without stress, grief, and sorrow Where I can have a thoughtless mind It needs to be a quiet and exotic place where nobody can find Forgetting and yet remembering, That’s right losing myself but at the same time discovering more White sand beaches where the ocean fades from the shore As I count the stars that will guide from above In the endless light blue sky there are millions of white doves I need time to find myself and so I can better know me A place where I can be relaxed and happy Now I’m overwhelmed by silence, with my thoughts must I contend? Just trying to avoid the loneliness to descend So come on join me my friend or just leave me be today I need some place to get away and to get ready for the next day I think escapism is very important, certainly in my life. I love nothing more than escaping into the world of a film or a novel. To be involved in creating that for other people is a privilege. Ben Barnes We spend more time developing means of escaping our troubles than we do solving the troubles we're trying to escape from. David Lloyd
