Trying to Escape Me

What do I do 

What do I do 

 

I don’t want to lie to myself 

When it’s hard to smile 

Tell myself I’m getting better 

And there’s a light ending the tunnel 

 

It’s not like I’m still depressed 

It’s just a little hard to move sometimes 

I can fight fatigue with exercises 

If I can get myself to move… (go outside) 

 

I set alarms 

For practice every night 

And turn them off 

I can’t do anything right 

 

I promised everyone 

Including myself 

I would give my all 

I can’t do anything right 

 

What do I do 

What do I do 

When the song hates me 

It doesn’t want to come out and play 

It keeps trying to escape me 

Mm, mm, mm 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

 

What do I do 

When the song hates me 

It doesn’t want to come out and play 

It keeps trying to escape me 

Mm, mm, mm 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

 

Mm, I just… My heart aches 

I only want to give it justice 

Play it right for once 

Without slipping weird or buzzing 

 

Without having to slow down 

Because I can’t play on time well 

I only want to play it right once 

And once more and more again 

 

I can barely write the song 

Because I can’t right my wrongs 

What kind of music wants a lousy player 

 

I claim to want to give it justice 

But I’m afraid of getting calloused 

What kind of music wants to have to ask for favors 

 

What do I do 

What do I do 

When the song hates me 

It doesn’t want to come out and play 

It keeps trying to escape me 

Mm, mm, mm 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

 

What do I do 

When the song hates me 

It doesn’t want to come out and play 

It keeps trying to escape me 

Mm, mm, mm 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh 

 

I must look like 

A drunkard 

Lying by 

My guitar 

Crying 

Because I’m not good enough 

Of course the song doesn’t trust me 

Someone who doesn’t know how to work hard

 

I’m only trying to escape me 

No wonder my song hates me 

No wonder 

No wonder my song hates me 

And doesn’t want to come out and play 

And keeps trying to escape me 

I wanna run away 

I wanna run away 

Should I just try again 

One last time
