I crave something new, I yearn to leave.

Some sort of alteration, it's getting hard to breathe.

My life is indistinguishable, always the same,

But I guess I only have myself to blame.

I'm not living here, I simply survive.

I covet adventure, I want to feel alive.

Surrounded by a few who claim to care about me

I feel trapped by my mind, someone set me free.

I look up at the sky and wonder who's looking at the same one,

Are they sad or lonely, do their thoughts weigh a ton?

I refuse reality and leak curiosity,

hopelessly wonder about love and avoid pity.

I have innumerable emotional thoughts,

But my words stumble and my feelings get caught.

And if the city never sleeps then that makes two,

I think in every possible way- it's all I do.

Soon enough it will be too late,

All I want to do is escape.

I'm tired of struggling to breathe,

I crave something new, I yearn to leave.
