Anticipating, awaiting this disaster.
It all started when my mind was lost.
Struggling to get free no matter the cost.
Haunted by all my memories.
Every waking moment puts my life in jeopardy.
My mind is stuck on everlasting replay.
And there is no hope to ever break away.

The fall air was crisp and cool.
But the memories that haunt me are nothing but cruel.
Always craving and persuing that high.
These urges never diminish, only intensify.

Place a gun to my chest.
Not wearing a bullet proof vest.
Pierce my heart, free my soul.
That is how I want to go.

Now feeling the handcuffs bound around my wrists.
I won`t go back to a life where I only exist.
So I twist and turn struggling to break free.
No these chains will never hold me.
You can lock me up and throw away the key.
But I will never stop trying to flee.
Let me out of this concrete cage.
It only enforces this pent up rage.

Take these cream colored ovals the white coats say.
I only do what I`m told or I`ll be forced to stay.
Everyday I blur the lines between truth and lies.
I let the white coats believe they`re allies.
Now I`ve finally been set free.
Only to have these memories haunt me.
But in the end, these urges will win.
I will wipe away all I am or ever have been.

Here I am driving faster.
Anticipating, awaiting this disaster.
It all started when my mind was lost.
Struggling to get free no matter the cost.
Haunted by all my memories.
Every waking moment puts my life in jeopardy.
My mind is stuck on everlasting replay.
And there is no hope to ever break away.

The fall air was crisp and cool.
But the memories that haunt me are nothing but cruel.
Always craving and persuing that high.
These urges never diminish, only intensify.

Place a gun to my chest.
Not wearing a bullet proof vest.
Pierce my heart, free my soul.
That is how I want to go.
