I Can’t Escape

I can’t escape
The wheel turns over and over and over never stopping
Even when it slows so I can catch my breath, it is still not enough to jump off
Do I really want to get out then?
I say that I do. I want to believe that I do. But what can I do?
I can’t escape

I can’t escape
You are my child, you are a part of me
How to I cut off a part of me?
Surgeons can take my body parts but who can take my soul, my heart?
Who do I see to untangle us?
I can’t escape

I can’t escape
I love you; then hate – Thank you; then hurt – Help me; then silence
When do the lies stop? Where is the truth?
I can’t see clearly enough
I can’t escape
I can’t escape
I can’t
