Escapist

(Album: Paradise - 2023)

A new day
The same subroutines
Keep the chaos at bay
Refine the programming

Correcting conflicting code
Still sending out signals but nothing returns
Daydreaming as a means of escape
Counting hours but losing track of the days

If I could I'd run right through
That open door inside my head
To the place where sea meets sun and sky
And lay there for a while

Stuck in a loop
Unable to break it or find a way through
Stuck in a loop
Unable to break it or find a way through

Oh, the monotony!
Crushed into foreign shape
In the name of conformity
Oh, the monotony!
Crushed into foreign shape
In the name of conformity

Degrading into discord
Still sending out signals
Shouting into the void
Ground to dust by the day to day
Counting hours but losing track of the days

If I could I'd run right through
That open door inside my head
To the place where sea meets sun and sky
And lay there for a while
If I could I'd run right through
That open door inside my head
To the place where sea meets sun and sky
And lay there for a while

(Correcting conflicting code
Still sending out signals but nothing returns
Daydreaming as a means of escape
Counting hours but losing track of the days)
