I collect baseball cards,
Write short stories all day, all day,
I play my guitar until my dying day, yes, I play,
I play army in the backyard,
No one is harmed today,
Been in prison since the day I was born,
A slave to the flesh today.

I escaped without the drugs,
Escaped into my own mind,
I escaped without the drugs.

I have nightmares most every night,
The same old dream today,
No one comes to deliver me, but I pray, yes, I pray,
Wish I could remember more,
But my memory, it fades,
I see my brother go past on a motorbike today.

I escape without the drugs,
Escape into my own mind,
I escape without the drugs.

Here I sit in this life, nothing has changed,
In this life, no one that I love gets killed,
Everyone has hot wheels, everyone has hot wheels,
Everyone has hot wheels, everyone has hot wheels.

I grew up overnight,
God watches over me,
I grew up overnight,
God watches over me.

I put away my childish ways,
I put away,
I put away my childish ways,
And now I'm free.

I escape without the drugs,
Escape into my own mind,
I escape without the drugs,
I escape without the drugs,
Escape into my own mind,
I escape without the drugs.
