Ex-thoughts to translate

...

Memories you wanna shape

Distort, watch them mutate

...

Make it easy to erase, to erase

Find another way

You could be here too

Help me elevate

I just wanted to escape

Find another way

What you left to lose?

Ex-communicate

I just wanted to escape

...

Old roads to re-trace

...

New ideas to embrace

Take hold, watch it translate

...

Make it easy to relate, to relate

Find another way

You could be here, too

Help me elevate

I just wanted to escape

Find another way

What you left to lose?

Ex-communicate

I just wanted to escape

...
