Break out and break free,
open up the laptop
what do you do
what do you do
I go to my sanctuary
and you on the contrary
seek a new victim
one that can’t defend
all the while
you pretend

oh hot damn
I’m taken and slammed
what have i done
what have i done
all i try to
all I try is to escape
escape from my
dreary errie life
away from the pain
of the daylight
try to hide in the night life
