Away - Thavius Beck

I’m an escapist

Yup, it’s time to get away

The day like any other

Outside forces conspire to smother

The flames of desire

Raging like wild brushfire

It’s so easy to inundate

Your true state with one full of compromise

Content with the comforts 'til you realize

The size of the fascade you place before God

So just how do you set it straight?

And capture what you were initially after?

Yet another question for which you lack an answer

Can you outpace disaster if you run faster?

Not carrying the world’s weight

Or a seemingly equivalent amount

Deep within can be a hard fought bout

So time to be refocus

Escape, be without, and I’m out

Yeah it’s time to get away (go ahead and just get away)

Yup it’s time to get away (it's time to get away)

Yeah it’s time to get away (go ahead and just get away)

Yup it’s time to get away (today it’s time to get away)

I’m an escapist

It’s time to get away

From bright lights and towers

Leeches, vampires, and those who devour

All of the nectar and take the very essence of the flower

So now it’s time to motivate

Far away from the weeds and fields of barren seeds

To cultivate the mind state that you need

And later assess any mess and make progress

And no, no need to set a date

'cause this process occurs and is constant

See, life can be overwhelming from the onset

But there’s paradise here for the one who truly wants it

So go, don’t just contemplate

All the possibilities and what-ifs

Or become numb, drowning sorrorws by the fifths

Pour the pain down the drain

And make the scenery shift

Go ahead and just get away (yeah it’s time to get away)

Today it’s time to get away (yup it’s time to get away)

Be an escapist, go ahead and just get away (go ahead and just get away)

Today it’s time to get away (today it’s time to get away)
