Escape

This desk saved my life
This is where they were written
The words that kept me alive
My brain breaks sometimes
Then I find myself reaching
For those familiar spines
When I get lost inside the pages
I just feel all of my pain melting away
At least for a day
Chorus
I just need a good fantasy
To help me cope with this agony
Take me out of this moment
And let the magic carry me
So even when my heart aches
And I’m not in the best shape
I can reach for a well-worn book
To give me an escape
Will this time be my downfall?
Feeling like I’ll be crushed
Under the weight of it all
But somehow, you got through
To a world that was waiting
For someone just like you
I can’t wait to get to the good part
You gave me hope that it gets brighter ‘round the bend
If I hold on ‘til the end
Chorus
Instrumental Break
When you grow up
You don’t have to give up
What you loved when you were younger
Chorus

Braver

I am trapped in my memories
Reliving my deepest regrets
Then it finally hit me
The one that I’d tried to forget
When someone good and true loved me
And he went out on a limb
I pretended it didn’t matter
Snuffed it right out
and watched it break him
The truth is I was afraid
And when I am afraid I run away
So I ran away
Cause you are more
Than I felt like I deserved
Wish I had been braver
Why couldn’t I be braver
And if I get one more chance
to tell you how I feel
Next time I’ll be braver
You taught me to be braver.
Did you know that I loved you
That day we first laid out the tiles
All the peaches and plums we could eat
No signs of danger for miles
In a whole other lifetime
We grew old, had a family at that
You and me, we worked for 50 years
Who gets proof of concept like that?
I hate that I was afraid
But now I finally have the guts to say
I’d choose you any day
Cause you are all
I could ever want and more
Wish I had been braver
Why couldn’t I be braver?
And if I get one more chance
to tell you how I feel
Next time I’ll be braver
You taught me to be braver.
If I ever get out of here, Q
Know that when I’m braver, it’s cause I learned it from you
