Sweet Escape

I've been up for days,
I can't get it out of my system,
Free nights,
Are all that I can think about.

I keep my weary eyes faced forward,
But somewhere in between,
They look down and see,
What I'm walking through.

I'm walking through murkey water,
Steadly rising to my knees,
The higher it rises,
The harder it is to walk.

I can't and I won't,
Let myself sink through,
I can't give up now,
I won't stay here.

Some days I feel like,
Stopping and letting myself free,
But my sweet escape,
Hasn't yet come around the bend.

I'm waiting until the end,
Where I know I deserve to be free,
Because I know if I try my best,
My sweet escape will be the end.
