Take Me Away by Gabrielle Aplin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take me away from the demons in my brain
Take me out to the world
Take me out into the day
And let me find
My peace of mind
I was alone
I was taken with the tide
But I knew that I was home
When I looked into your eyes and said I'm done
Just let me go

[Chorus 1]
I am hollow, I am numb
I am staring down the barrel of this gun
I am always by myself
In a sea of self-infliction that I felt

[Verse 2]
My life is a line burning faster every time
Happy is just a dead-end street
I must turn around and leave once in a while
Once in a while
I bear far more cracks
Than the human eye can see
Is it fair to be perplexed
And try explain what's underneath with my success?
'Cause there's nothing left
[Chorus 2]
I am tortured by myself
I am haunted by the fear of someone else
And I am fading, I am a ghost
Disconnected from the things I love the most

[Bridge]
You've seen my best turn to the worst
I've dragged you right down with me
Want to confess, but with the stress
I'm scared you'll leave me
Now, I want you to know
But you can't take it on your own

[Chorus 1]
I am hollow, I am numb
I am staring down the barrel of this gun
I am always by myself
In a sea of self-infliction that I felt
