My Escape

Keep this burning flame alive
At least for now, I need it
It is my escape, it is
At least for now, I need it

Looking sideways, learning to pretend
This movie in my head is on repeat
Wishing for the sign that says the end
Am I the only one who seeks the heat

Keep this burning flame alive
At least for now, I need it
It is my escape, it is
At least for now, I need it

A broken mind is not a broken heart
A hidden truth is nowhere near a lie
I set those terms right from the very start
In case someone would ask the question why

Keep me happy, humor me
At least for now, I need it
Just pretend to play this game
At least for now I need it
