Gone Too Far

Have I run too far to get home?
Have I truly left all my troubles away?
Or am I simply postponing the inevitable?
Is there any escape?
Have I gone too far this time?

Have I gone too far
and really escaped my issues?
I could not quicken the pace,
my sorrow enveloped me
I could not escape myself.

I could not escape myself,
no matter how deep the needle
penetrates my skin, the rush
I could not find no longer.
If only I could start over.

If I would start over,
what could I change?
The fame, the glamour,
have gotten the better of me.
I cannot handle it.

I couldn’t handle it,
if only I would have started over,
I was unable to escape myself,
and I have gone too far this time,
and left you here alone.
