Escape

I've burned down my album photos
Abandoned Ariel's grotto
I couldn't look at her treasures
Knowing very well all that was garbage

It's my way to get rid of my chains
Blocking the doors leading to brand new lands

I want to grow, I want to rise, stand on my own feet
But my own mind wants to take me down and declare defeat
I have done wrong, I have sinned
Perfecting has been denied

I'm not pretending my own record is so crystal clear
I'm not denying the track that took me to be right here

I'm just asking to be seen as I am right now

I'm running from the claws
Trying to lock me on the wall
If nostalgia makes the laws
I'm breaking them all

Perhaps I am not be that different
From the self I'd rather keep distance
Had my reasons to let him on the sand
His memories drain my existence

That is my way to get rid of the shame
Of watching the past mistakes again and again
In my head

I want to grow, I want to rise, stand on my own feet
But my own mind want to take me down and declare defeat
I have done wrong, I have sinned
Perfecting has been denied

I'm not pretending my own record is so crystal clear
I'm not denying the track that took me to be right here

I'm just asking to be seen as I am right now

Call me heartless, ungrateful, rebellious
The name you pick
You can choose whatever serves the narrative
About the boy who quit doing the old same trick

I'm running from the claws
Trying to lock me on the wall
If nostalgia makes the laws
I'm breaking them all

I'm not looking back
There must be something nice ahead
My nostalgia is dead
It was blocking my progress

I just want to be seen
As I am right now
