Can't Escape

by amandaa   Jun 17, 2005


Behind my smile the pain is great
I wish not to think about my painful fate.
Mona Lisa smile
Painted on my face.

I want to be forgiven
Of all my sins and lies
I wish they could be forgotten
And so I always try
to meet everyone's satisfaction.

But how do you please everyone
When you can not please yourself
What if your self-confidence
Is laying on a dusty shelf?

Don't laugh at these rhymes,
Telling the story of my pitiful life.
Trying to grab hold
Of what's left of the light.

I'm trying, I'm trying
To hold on tight.
But my grip is loosening
I've lost this fight.

Battling my pain,
I have not won
And now I'm left with none.
Because everyone's gone
Leaving me with my sorrow.

I'm crying, I'm crying
tripping over my path
I realize I've lost track
Of the times I've wished to be back
In the world I thought was terrible
Before I tumbled into this
And now I can't escape
I have not much more to say.

I'm dying
But no, now I realize
that I've died a long time ago
Deep within my heart
Deep within my soul
Al that lives now is my mind.
And here I sit wishing
It could be killed as well.

And now I can't escape
And this is all I have to say.
