I am finding that life is so hard these days,
I try to escape but just can’t get away.
So I retreat far into my memories,
Smile a while as I bask in my reveries,
So deep in my dreams I will happily stay.
And I think I get what drugs are all about,
Why people will drink until they just pass out.
Don’t we all just want to flee and to escape?
Detangle ourselves from all of life’s red tape,
An escape from the pain, within or without?
Not looking for someone to stop and listen,
I don’t want someone to change my position.
I don’t want you to talk me out of all this,
I’ll tell you to fuck off and go take a piss,
Just let me retreat into oblivion.
And so life really is so hard these days,
Would be great to just escape and get away.
It’s easier to just give up, don’t you see,
To rest for a while under the big oak tree,
Letting lack of sleep turn my brain into clay.
And here we begin to get incoherent,
Chewing some Juicyfruit or just the Spearmint.
If I can’t feel my toes or my fingertips,
Means everything slows into apocalypse,
Being called dumb-ass is just an endearment.
Don’t try to stop me or even just listen,
Don’t want you to try and change my position.
And please don’t try to talk me out of all this,
I’m telling you, “fuck off and go take a piss,”
Leave, let me escape into oblivion.
