Knotting my laces together
In a sequence i know too well.
The circles i keep repeating
Like a broken carousel.
Everyone is soundly asleep
As i make my escape tonight.
I jump the balcony to the streets
As this wrong feels so right.
I run. Smiling like the mad man
I am. Leaving without hesitation.
I could party or drink or smoke
But i dont have a destination.

3am and I'm outside pondering
Where i should go.
As the world is sleeping i try to
Question what i know.
Lighting a cigarette between my
Lips, the embers burning hot.
Exhaling the fumes of toxicity,
The only thing i got.
