My Escape

Music is my escape from this world. Music is my escape from my world. Music just says it all. Every emotion. Every moment. Every thought. There's a song that just expresses it all for me. It doesn't have to be the whole song. It could just be a verse or the chorus or even one line.

Right now Thousand Foot Krutch says it all in one of their songs, Learn to Breath.

"Sometimes I just want to run away,
From all the things you say to me,
Feelings are ok to me…

And I just want to find a place,
Where no one sleeps, we’re all awake,
And take the time to get away…

I don’t want to play these games,
Your strength has helped me make the change,
Catch me if I fall from grace…

I don’t want to play your games,
‘Cause lonely was a safer place,
Catch me if I fall from grace…

Take the time, to learn to breathe,
‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,
When did we, all fall asleep?
Won’t someone wake us?
Take the time, to learn to breathe,
‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,
Help us see, what’s underneath

I’m not here to place the blame,
‘Cause although we’re not, we’re all the same,
You lit a fire, when You called my name, uhh huh

I don’t want to play your games,
‘Cause lonely was a safer place,
Catch me if I fall from grace, uhh huh

Take the time, to learn to breathe,
‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,
When did we, all fall asleep?
Won’t someone wake us?
Take the time, to learn to breathe,
‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,
Help us see, what’s underneath

I wanna take you, wanna shake you,
Wanna make you feel like I do,
I wanna take you, wanna break you,
Wanna make you know what it’s like

I wanna take you, wanna break you,
Wanna make you, feel like I do,
I wanna take you, wanna shake you,
Wanna make you know what it’s like

I won’t fight you, I’m not like you,
I wanna make you see what I see,
I won’t fight you, I’m not like you,
I wanna make you feel like I do

I won’t fight you, I’m not like you,
I wanna make you see what I see,
I won’t fight you, I’m not like you,
I wanna make you feel….like I feel

Take the time, to learn to breathe,
‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,
When did we, all fall asleep?
Won’t someone wake us?
Take the time, to learn to breathe,
‘Cause some day we’re goin’ under,
Help us see, what’s underneath

You think you have it all figured out,
You think you’re onto something,
I see you standing there, acting like you have
No idea what I’m talking about,
You don’t like the way I dress,
You don’t like the way I talk,
That’s fine, ‘cause nobody asked you,
And next time you want to point the finger
I suggest you look in the mirror"

I'm glad to have music as my escape. I'm glad for the one day that I do go home to my parents when I just blast my music and let everything from the week go away and disappear.
