how i long to escape

oftentimes i get so sick of living
and i just wanna run away

i know it doesn't fix much
but if i keep moving,
maybe it won't catch up

maybe that's why i've always wanted to travel
not only the allure of history and foreign culture,
but also the thrill of escape

i keep making mistakes
and i don't know how to fix myself

but if i can get away
then i won't have to

i don't know how long i can survive this
i don't know if i can make it another year

oh, if only i could run
like the wind, like the sea, like the beasts in the night

take me away
