Escape
Shikira
Nesbitt
Dealing with life's problems
and headaches
moving
to the music is my escape
telling
my story with so much ease
....Don't interrupt me, please....
I'm in my zone
even in a crowded room, when I escape...
I'm alone
releasing
my anger, tension, and stress
I can feel the bass vibrating in my chest
swaying my arms
Swiveling my hips
Swiveling my legs
working out my problems with my body
Living the music
feeling the emotion
putting their story into motion
My heart beating quickly
My blood flowing freely
My adrenaline pumping high
I'm feeling so alive
forgetting about the outside world
and living in the beat
there's no place I'd rather be
no longer remembering my problems
only concentrating on my movements
using my body as my equipment
Then the bass fades
and the music dies down
my heart beats slow
and my movements cease
I return back to reality
and leave my zone
relaxed and ready to move on
after telling the story of a three minute song
