Another Way Out

Is there another way out?
I must find a way

I'm trapped in denial
Though I understand I am lost on the same path
Can't bring myself to try
To keep moving ever forward
This way is easy for me
So I will just stay here for awhile
Right here where I know I will
Feel safe but so alone

How long have I been here?
This place will soon decay
When will I move on?
Now is the time to walk away
(I must find another way out)

There must be a way to break this cycle in my thinking
A way to finally feel alive
I must take this chance before I wither
And if I hesitate
I will die in the end
In the end

The fear keeps building as I try to escape
I feel my life slip
Afraid to let go
I need to face this fear
Can't turn back now
I may die in the end
But I won't be scared

There must be a way to break this cycle in my thinking
A way to finally feel alive
I must take this chance before I wither
And if I hesitate
I will die in the end
I don't know how I will die
But if I stay in this decaying place
I will never know what could have been
Never find a way out
I must keep moving before it's too late for me

I still hesitate
My hands still shake
Will I give up and turn back now?
How can I bear to face myself and change my ways?

My hands are shaking because I fear
My body's freezing because I'm scared
The fear of knowing my end keeps
Holding me back from finding a new way

Please let me be brave enough to
Set myself free from this fear
Another way out is close at hand
I must move before this hateful place consumes me
