Escapism

I can't really move or speak
Debates slowly fade into monologues
Pretending we're fictional
And not that emotional
My worries and fears
Concealed away
Someone who knew
Wouldn't dare to stay
Why are we all so intrigued
Deprived of our privacy
Bunch of lunatics on ecstasy
All as shallow as our bruises
Terrified constantly
Nothing left to do but flee

Calm me down, take me home
Disassociate me until dawn
Calm me down, I will take everything
That you have for me
I won't be of help, I won't make a scene

Days are all blurry and nights are chaotic
I'm anxious and tired and highly neurotic
Darkness, it shivers as I go to bed
Not much seems to work inside my fucking head
I don't think it helps to get high every day
With the work and the songs and accounts to repay
My schedule neglected and health left behind
All things all at once every question combined
Don't get me wrong with the persistent whining
I'm still going strong and I'm always refining
But three decades passed all spend thoughtlessly
How I wish that the world would stop screaming at me

Calm me down, take me home
Disassociate me until dawn
Calm me down, I will take everything
That you have for me
I won't be of help, I won't make a scene

So you tell me to have kids?
How the fuck can I have kids
When the fascists roam the streets
And the maniacs on their thrones want to drop atomic bombs?
The world belongs to the beautiful
To the mindless and the unmerciful
No mistake is ever forgotten
No flaw is omitted and defeat is not permitted
The pressure from family, from work and from friends
Each new week starts before previous one ends
I'm not built to be spinning at this monstrous speed
How I wish that the world would stop screaming at me
