Escape

I'll try to make it back by the morning
Might run a little late, don't wait up on me
Got a dream and a queen
I'll be living like a king some day
Never felt unsure
Can't forget when I lived so poor
Now, shit I can afford
But I get bored spending money
I don't need more, I just need doors open
Only pushing for a bit, then my store close on me

Make bread like a baker, gotta stay fed
Keep the meds in the mason, gotta stay fresh
Let it burn slow, smell it on the porch
Bet the neighbors do too, even on the second floor
I try to come off as a boss and it costs sometimes
No, I never would've thought I'd be tossed aside
Didn't want this shit at all, call it off, I get lost sometimes
Only trying to move along, take it on, most nights like
God damn, all hell broke loose
I lost my way, every step I take I lose
Distance and with it, pieces of me, too
I'll leave something left for you

All I wanted was a place to call my own
A place to call my home
Escape to what I know
All I wanted was a place to call my own
A place to call my home
Escape to what I know

I'll try to make it back by the morning
At dawn, if I'm gone, you know where to look for me
I just need a little quiet in my brain, can't explain
What it takes to shut it off, I'm sorry
I can't complain, know you're gonna ignore me
Place blame and frame it on me
I'll save space and stay my lane, avoid me
You save face and say you do it for me
But I don't believe it

I'm finding relief
Keep me sweating, it's like it's 100 degrees
I roll up my sleeves
Wish I could wait for the breeze
People got it lookin' easy
Tease me, show me things I only dream
Achieve the things I think I'm on the brink of

All I wanted was a place to call my own
A place to call my home
Escape to what I know
All I wanted was a place to call my own
A place to call my home
Escape to what I know
