Written sometime in March '11, I think.
Yay for depressing-ness! ;)
No Escape
She's in her bedroom
Tryin' to drown out the sound
Of her angry parents
Shouting each other out
She has a world where
Everything's okay
But it's a place
She can't manage to stay
'Cause even though she says
She is lost in her dreams
In a world where all
Is not quite as it seems
She's painfully aware of her reality,
Believing in dreams,
More a lie and formality
Because there is no escape, not in dreams.
She sees his girlfriend.
She's perfect for sure
But all that she wishes
Is that he'd look at her
She could dance with Prince Charming
Along in her dreams
But deep down she knows
She's falling out at the seams
'Cause even though she says
She is lost in her dreams
In a world where all
Is not quite as it seems
She's painfully aware of her reality,
Believing in dreams,
More a lie and formality
Because there is no escape, not in dreams.
LIfe can be beautiful
But it isn't always
We've all seen the clouds
Wished for better days.
But her last fortress
Is crumbling away
While she frantically fights
To make it stay
'Cause even though she says
She is lost in her dreams
In a world where all
Is not quite as it seems
She's painfully aware of her reality,
Believing in dreams,
More a lie and formality
Because there is no escape, not in dreams.
You'd never know it
Looking at her
In the rush of life,
She gets caught in the blur
But if you look closely,
I think that you'd find
That all her dreams left her
Are tears in her eyes.
There is no escape, not in dreams.
