Escape

(from the album Ride the Lightning)

Back to Metallica Albums

Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy

I know I'm my best friend

No one cares, but I'm so much stronger

I'll fight until the end

To escape from the true false world

Undamaged destiny

Can't get caught in the endless circle

Ring of stupidity

*

Out of my own, out to be free

One with my mind, they just can't see

No need to hear things that they say

Life is for my own to live my own way

*

Rape my mind and destroy my feelings

Don't tell my what to do

I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side

And I can see through you

Feed my brain with your so called standards

Who says that I ain't right

Break away from your common fashion

See through your blurry sight

Out of my own, out to be free

One with my mind, they just can't see

No need to hear things that they say

Life is for my own to live my own way

*

See they try to bring the hammer down

No damn chains can hold me to the ground

Life is for my own to live my own way
