Going through life
slowly walking through
i need to get some rest
for i am confused
i need a peaceful mind
so i can think straight
searching for someone
anyone who can relate
escape from reality
its my perfect pill
it gets me calm
it helps me deal
concealing myself
from the world's judging eye
but in my own mind
i never have to hide
eyes closed shut
dreaming a little dream
no pain
no sorrow
just you holding me
then something happens
reality hits
insides screaming
everything had just fit
now dreading my dark path
that i have to tread
out in the real world
outside my head
wanting to go back inside
away from everything i hate
escape from reality
its my perfect pill
this gets me calm
this helps me deal
pen and paper at hand
writing down my feelings
and trying to understand
why i have to put up this shield
deep inside my mind
where i have to hide
from the world's deceiving lies
but in my own mind
i am not denied
the freedom of my life
because i never have to hide...
