The Escapist

It's only an avenue
It's only a path
To lead our minds
To anywhere we choose
Help me overcome
This life
Is not my own
I need a way

Get me away from here
My head's in the clouds
And thoughts are just
Rain on my skin
All day long I dream awake
When the night comes
Then I escape
Imagining a life
Conjured up inside
Pretend I'm really here
But I'm gone
My mind is overcast
A fog that restricts me from this

Life right here
But takes me where I'd
Rather be
Won't you let me go?!
Help me overcome
That this life
Is not my own
I need a way
Get me away from here
My head's in the clouds
And thoughts are just
Rain on my skin
All day long I dream awake
When the night comes
Then I escape
I'm the dreamer of worlds
And better realities
I've abandoned the truth
So I can run away
From life at last
I'm the dreamer of worlds
I abandon reality
I abandon the truth

I'm The Escapist
When I'm awake
This life just
Makes no sense
What's possible?
My mind is creating
New hope
I need a way
Get me away from here
My head's in the clouds
And thoughts are just
Rain on my skin
All day long I dream awake
When the night comes
Then I escape
