Surroundings
As I walk with the music on full blast
I try not to remember my past
"Live the moment while it lasts" they all say
What if I don't want to
What if I want to escape
What if I want to run away
I'd rather listen to music through my headset and fly away
With no threats
and not vex the people I love
not vex the ones I rebuffed
But what If I can't escape
What if I can't run away
What if I can't fly away
My headset sends me to this place
Far from all the misery
Each word
Each verse
Sends me to this place
Far from everything
So if I can't run away
I'll just put my headset on
and skip to that one song
that makes me belong
