Lyrics

Gently (Demo)

Gently my mind escapes into the relaxing mode of pleasure A pleasure that will take my mind off the reality of life My past life Life as I know it know And whatever may come it slowly disappears To somewhere in the back of my mind It will remain there until I wish to retrieve it Yes I will stay here for awhile for I need the break A break from the pressures of life And everything that lay in the palm of life's hands, life's hands This mode is incredible It's out of this world Too bad I must always leave it But that's life That's life, that's life, that's life
