Troubles  waters outside do brew
Crash against the shore of my mind,  
In this time of duress when all I wish to do is sleep and rest
To close my eyes and escape for but a moment to the world of my dream
Set free from the constraints that in this world it seems
To live thrive on driving me out of my well placed seams
Oh to escape from this distressful time
Where I am pressed and uncomfortable a criminal for an unknown crime
I just want for once to close my eyes
And have the trouble melt away, at my single say
To have a carefree day
To simply go out and stay and play
No thought as to where anyone is
No thought as to where I am to be
No thought at all simple freedom
Sometimes I wonder why this hammer so heavy fell on me
Pinned me to the ground unwilling to set me free
Withheld by my duty it is here I must stay
For though I was placed here I will not dismay
I will take my life and pull it down with an arm
I will seize the situation and prevent it from doing further harm
I will not relent nor cry
For I was not place here to simply die
For I know now  I shall step away
And it is for that reason that I move day by day.
