"I Gotta Get Away" lyrics

I gotta get away and put an end to this
I gotta break down everything and not resist
Burn down, nothing left to compensate
I gotta get away before I escalate
I gotta get away and put an end to this
I gotta break down everything and not resist
Burn down, nothing left to compensate
I gotta get away before I escalate

I spent far too much time keeping my respect
But I no longer can stand what I can't accept
If I don't do something now I'm gonna explode
And release all the anger boiling down below

It's coming up the surface, it is waking up
It used to be locked away, now it's up on top
My whole body is shaking, I am freaking out
I really wanna sit still, but I scream and shout

But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Today is when I'm breaking free

I gotta get away and put an end to this
I gotta break down everything and not resist
Burn down, nothing left to compensate
I gotta get away before I escalate

I had it, I fought it
I cannot, I will not go for it
I'm not staying put while it's messing around with my head
Escape is a blessing

Time is too precious
I finally get what it possesses
It's taken too long but
Surrender is never an option
As I lose my temper

But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Today is when I'm breaking free

I gotta get away and put an end to this
I gotta break down everything and not resist
Burn down, nothing left to compensate
I gotta get away before I escalate

But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Today is when I'm breaking free

I gotta get away and put an end to this
I gotta get away and put an end to this
I gotta break down everything and not resist
Burn down, nothing left to compensate
I gotta get away before I escalate
I gotta get away and put an end to this
I gotta break down everything and not resist
Burn down, nothing left to compensate
I gotta get away before I escalate
