Escape From Reality
Turn off the television!
Throw the phone across the room!
I’m tired of waking up every morning
To another dose of fucking doom!
Another headline screaming fear,
Another reason we should hate.
Everybody picks a side
While somebody profits from the rage.
Left side, right side, choose your team,
Everybody shouting through a screen.
I don’t need another talking head
Telling me what everything should mean.
Every notification
Is another invitation
To a world addicted to frustration.
I’m done!
I need somewhere I can breathe.
Somewhere nobody follows me.
No breaking news.
No endless feeds.
Just open roads and everything I need.
I NEED AN ESCAPE FROM REALITY!
Somewhere I can finally breathe!
Turn off the noise and kill the feed.
For once, I just wanna be free!
I wanna wake up and love being alive.
Feel the fucking sun instead of hiding inside.
No fear!
No hate!
No misery!
Give me an escape from reality!
Scroll, scroll, scroll, what’s next?
War, hate, scandal, everybody’s stressed.
Politicians yelling while the comments explode,
Everybody thinks they’ve got the only road.
Red versus blue.
Me versus you.
Tell me when the hell did living become something we just survive through?
I don’t wanna fight.
I don’t wanna choose.
I don’t wanna spend another morning drowning in somebody else’s news.
So unplug the machine.
Let the silence kick in.
Maybe life gets beautiful
When the bullshit finally ends.
SHUT IT OFF!
No more fear in my head!
SHUT IT OFF!
I wanna live instead!
SHUT IT OFF!
Let the whole world scream!
Tonight, I’m escaping the machine!
I NEED AN ESCAPE FROM REALITY!
Somewhere I can finally breathe!
Turn off the noise and kill the feed.
For once, I just wanna be free!
I wanna wake up and love being alive.
Feel the fucking sun instead of hiding inside.
No fear!
No hate!
No misery!
Give me an escape from reality!
Give me a sunrise without a headline.
Give me a highway without a deadline.
Give me some friends and a song turned loud.
Give me somewhere I can disappear into the crowd.
Let me laugh without feeling guilty.
Let me dream without the world trying to kill me.
Maybe freedom isn’t somewhere we go.
Maybe freedom starts when we finally let go.
NO NEWS!
NO FEEDS!
NO HATE!
NO TEAMS!
NO FEAR!
NO CHAINS!
LET ME FEEL ALIVE AGAIN!
THIS IS MY ESCAPE FROM REALITY!
This is where I finally breathe!
I killed the noise and dropped the feed.
And remembered what it feels like to be free!
Now I wake up and I’m glad I’m alive.
Open the curtains and let in the light.
No fear!
No hate!
No misery!
I found my escape from reality!
Turn it off.
Walk outside.
Take a breath.
You’re alive.
The world can keep screaming.
Today...
I choose life.
