The Escapist - Nothington

Last night I had to drink myself to sleep

A lonely escape but it seems so easy

I take these pills at night to calm my nerves

Just give me anything to pull me under

I know it’s wrong

I know I keep poor habits

The more I run the more these days will happen

Apologies are lost for words

The clock is laughing in my face again

Hands on my chest staring at my ceiling

Turn off my mind and stop the world outside

I drown it out until I have no feeling

I know it’s wrong

I know I keep poor habits

The more I run the more these days will happen

Apologies are lost for words

And maybe the world will stop tonight

And maybe the world will stop tonight

These conversations are fucking killing me

I’m an escapist and nothing comforts me

So maybe the world will stop tonight

And maybe the world will stop tonight

I know it’s wrong

I know I keep poor habits

The more I run the more these days will happen

Apologies are lost

Apologies are lost for words
