I need a vacation
From myself
Just a little time
To be someone else

Some time to try a different set
A host of problems not my own
Ups and down that aren't mine
Some stresses just on loan

That way maybe I could see
That my problems are light
And I will stop living
In a constant state of fright

But I know it won't happen
I'm stuck where I've always been
Trying to rationalize my way
Out of my private lion's den
