Down and Away Rollins Band

I close my eyes and I look inside
I realize I'm in a bad place
I am the last place that I want to be
I open my eyes and I want to get away
Push me, pull me, ripping myself apart
I want to run, I want to hide
But I can't get away

I can't get in
I can't get out
Can't get to myself
So I can get to you
And I can't get close
When I'm close to you
And I can't get through myself
So I can get to you

The closer you get
The farther away I feel
The closer I get
The farther away you feel

If you could touch me and I could feel it
I'd want you to touch me so I could feel it
I'm dead as I fall thru your eyes
I am the prisoner trapped in life
I am the loser in the game I play
I am the garbage that I've thrown away
I'm not at home in the place I stay
I can't understand why
