The Escapist

All I need right now

Though it's hard to admit

Is for me to finally pull through and commit

All I need right now

Before I'm trying to quit

Is for you to come and help me numb it

All I need right now

Though it's hard to admit

Is for me to finally pull through and commit

All I need right now

Before I'm trying to quit

Is for you to come and help me numb it

What made me feel so jaded to everything around

The years were kind to me but my empathy couldn't be found

Neophobic, cynical, dark

Perfectionistic but always missing the mark

Homebound, unsound, body and soul

Chasing desires that never make me feel whole

All I need right now

Though it's hard to admit

Is for me to finally pull through and commit

All I need right now

Before I'm trying to quit

Is for you to come and help me numb it

To help me numb it

To help me numb it

I swear I never meant to be this bitter

Don't exactly what keeps me from being better

It's so much easier to keep up a facade

Than face the fact that I'm the one who's flawed

Overthinking, critical, cold

Losing sleep over the oath I swore to uphold

Careless, reckless, drifting apart

Turning self loathing into a form of art

All I need right now

Though it's hard to admit

Is for me to finally pull through and commit

All I need right now

Before I'm trying to quit

Is for you to come and help me numb it

I'm not asking you to solve my problems

Not asking you to change

You're not the one who has to make me face them

And finally turn the page

I'm not trying to find reasons to blame this

On anyone but me

It's just this feeling I get from you

Is the only way to set me free

If breaking all my walls will be the key

Then in the end what will remain of me?

Excuses only work on yourself for so long

Before it's time to come to terms with what's gone wrong

All I need right now

Though it's hard to admit

Is for me to finally pull through and commit

All I need right now

Before I'm trying to quit

Is for you to come and help me numb it

All I need right now

Though it's hard to admit

Is for me to finally pull through and commit

All I need right now

Before I'm trying to quit

Is for you to come and help me numb it

All I need right now

Though it's hard to admit

Is for me to finally pull through and commit

All I need right now

Before I'm trying to quit

Is for you to come and help me numb it

I'm not asking you to solve my problems

Not asking you to change

You're not the one who has to make me face them

And finally turn the page

Help me numb it

To help me numb it
