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
