The Great Escape

I feel so uninspired,
need to sleep but I'm not tired.
Alone again tonight,
Singing whiskey lullabies.
I'm thinking of the one,
the Girl that shines just like the sun.
Wish I could take Her in,
And hold Her close under my skin.
Just drift away from Time,
I close my eyes and Her I find.
Those eyes of golden brown,
And oh, that old familiar smell.
It takes me far away,
Back to when I felt no pain.
I think of love so warm,
Like when I'd hold Her in my arms.
Deadly as She may be,
That girl still has a hold on me.
And when I'm feeling weak,
I need only to hear Her speak,
And I'm in Love again,
A fiend for that Beautiful friend,
Promising the world to me,
Holding me so solemnly.
All else in life fades away,
And all I want is to evade.
I dont care how or who I hate,
I just need that great escape.
Dont care If I am doing harm,
Just need to hold Her in my arms.
I know I'm only hurting me.
As it is, I'm just too blind to see:
She just takes all my pride and money,
And only gives me tastes of honey.
But thats the Love she gives to me,
The Great Escape does NOT come cheap.
Not to you.
Not to Me.
Not to anybody.
