The escape is what I lived for

the mixture of pleasure and pain

Dope and booze gave me a way out

They have kept their promise to me

I thought I was fine

I was fine until I met him

He has become my new addiction, my obsession

There is nothing I won't do for him

But this life we live won't let us get away that easily

I thought that just maybe love could be enough

but I think I was wrong

The pull of this life is strong and all-consuming.

I don't know if our love for each other is enough to break us free.

When you give yourself over to this life,

the only way out is through pain
