Raise the red flags
Colors mean nothing to a blind man
Circling a maze
How long until I escape
Years down the drain
Finding peace in no place
A mouth full of a bitter taste
Nail biting, cliff hanging
I’m nail biting
Fingers pointed to whose at fault
Sinking lower into quick sand
My hands at the helm
Only myself to blame
I’ll dig myself out of this grave
My hands at the helm
Only myself to blame
I’ll dig myself out of my grave
I only have myself to blame
Stuck in a toxic way
I tell myself it’s okay
One day all this will fade
Stuck in a toxic way
It seems like I’m not okay
Allowing myself to be betrayed
I’ve been betrayed
I’ve been betrayed
I’ve turned away, I’m paying for all my mistakes
I’ve bared more than I could take
For all of the pain you create, you won’t be saved and I need to escape
I’m circling a maze
I’ve bared more than I could take
For all of the pain you create, you won’t be saved and I need to escape
I was left senseless, a blind man
But colors started to slowly bleed
I started to see
The only one on fire was me
As the end approaches
I’ve found only one door left open
I’d rather be left with nothing
And grow into something
It’s more than I can take
I’ve turned away, I’m paying for all my mistakes
I’ve bared more than I could take
For all of the pain you create, you won’t be saved and I need to escape
I’m circling a maze
I’ve bared more than I could take
For all of the pain you create, you won’t be saved and I need to escape
I need to escape, I need to escape
I need to escape, I need to escape
I’ll bring life into a drained soul
And at the end of the road
I’ll know that I’m not alone
Raise the red flags
No longer a blind man
I’ll find my escape
I’ll find my escape
