My Escape

I see the world through eyes of desperation
Never knew how long I'd fall
But I fell through years and years of darkness
Still I cannot seem to hit the ground

I let my guard down and you caught me by surprise
Nothing is ever carved in stone

Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been (if I didn't throw it away?)
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself? (For myself)

I've built my life upon decades of experience
But what I built for years took days for you to raze
In the end I learned that one single snowflake
Can set an avalanche in motion
Some questions are dangerous
The truth is not an option
This is the illusion I pulled down over your eyes

But I let my guard down and you caught me by surprise
Nothing is ever carved in stone

Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been (if I didn't throw it away?)
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself? (For myself)

I secure my every step
Slowly I advance away from you
How can I forgive you
When it wasn't your fault

(Will I spend my life wondering)
(What could have been?)

Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been (if I didn't throw it away?)
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself? (For myself)
Will I spend my life wondering
What could have been (if I didn't throw it away?)
Or will I struggle on
And find a better path for myself?
