Escape This Reality
Everywhere I go I see people staring,
They're talking 'bout me behind my back.
Everywhere I go I hear the rumors,
They hit me with a loud smack.
Can't they see what their words do to me,
Can't they see I'm hurt.
Don't they know I have feelings too,
I come crashing down with the things they blurt.
(Chorus)
I want to escape this reality,
want to go back to being me.
I want to escape this reality,
want to let go, and be set free.
I look in the mirror and what do I see,
A fake girl, just a wannabe.
Looking at her, she's covered in lies.
makeup is used to hide her cries.
She used to be smiles and happiness,
Used to think life was great.
Now she has too much baggage to carry,
She just wants to clean her slate.
(Chorus)
See, this is what society does,
Slowly tears you apart.
Destroys everything you love,
Starts taking things close to your heart.
(Chorus)
