Escape

as circumstances in life pass us by,
I cannot help but wonder and sigh,
what it would be like if I could fly,
to somewhere other than here,

Just spread my wings and take flight,
fly all day and into the night,
to that one place I think is right,
to that place I feel is never near,

I refuse to rest, I refuse to sleep,
I can't with these secrets I must keep,
I am quiet until the hill becomes steep,
when I get to the top it will be clear,

but the wings I will not grow, the flight I will not take,
I will put up with these circumstances until my heart
aches, for the love I will never receive,for all my
mistakes, I can't help but wonder what it would be like if
I could fly to somewhere other than here.

Perfect

I can't deny these feelings inside,
can't let them show, just have to hide,
until one day I see you again,
in another life we might collide,
waiting for that certain day,
letting my face not display,
what I actually do feel,
but I really want to say,
that you're nothing less than perfect,
can't really explain the effect,
that you tend to have on me,
my actions toward you I try to direct,
have to keep them hidden,
you're all I envisioned,
everything is there in the right place,
you are nothing less than perfect.
