Who knew? You really can escape in a Jeep.

Today I drove.
I drove and I cried.
I drove too fast.
The speed clears my mind.

110, 120,
I've almost escaped,
Wrestling for control,
what is my fate?

I cry and I cry here,
tears roll down my face.
They'll never find me here.
No one knows this place.

I've passed the city limit now,
It's here I can think,
With no one to question
just why I'm so weak.

Black asphault burns,
Jack's lost in Dark Blue,
I'm finally alone now,
to discover what's true.


**The third to last line is a reference to Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin. The lyrics are below. I always listen to that song (and the rest of JM's songs) when I'm depressed or something. Actually I guess I listen to them all the time, but especially when I'm upset.**

I have,
I have you breathing down my neck, breathing down my neck.
I don't,
don't know what you could possibly expect under this condition so,
I'll wait, I'll wait
for the ambulance to come, ambulance to come pick us up off the floor
what did you possibly expect under this condition so
slow down,
this night's a perfect shade of...

Dark blue, dark blue
have you
ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm
here with you
I said the world could be burning and burning down

Dark blue, dark blue
have you
ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm
here with you
I said the world could be burning till there's nothing but dark blue,
just dark blue.

And this flood,
this flood is slowly rising up, swallowing the ground beneath
my feel. Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so
I'll swim, I'll swim
as the water rises up,
sun is sinking down and now all i can see
are the planets in a row suggesting it's best that I
slow down,
this night's a perfect shade of...

Dark blue, dark blue,
have you
ever been alone in a crowded room,
well I'm
here with you
I said the world could be burning and burning down

Dark blue, dark blue
have you
ever been alone in a crowded room
well I'm
here with you,
I said the world could be burning and burning down.

We were boxing,
we were boxing the stars,
we were boxing (we were boxing),
you were swinging from Mars,
and then the water reached the west coast,
and took the power lines, the power lines
and it was me and you,
the whole town underwater,
there was nothing we could do
It was dark blue

Dark blue, dark blue
Have you
ever been alone in a crowded room,
well I'm
here with you
I said the world could be burning and burning down.
[x2]

If you've ever been alone,
you'll know,
dark blue.
If you've ever been alone,
you'll know.

PS: Thank you to everyone that comments me! I promise I'll comment you back!! Since the world insists on torturing teenagers, we should insist on talking to help endure all of this.

That's so sad... Music does help when you're depressed though, at least for me it does. It's funny though, all the songs that cheer me up are depressing. ^_^ Maybe because I know I'm not the only one with problems out there...
