tankard - slipping from reality lyrics

[written by tankard (gutjahr/zissel/thorwarth/geremia)]

i, born into a circle
i will lose not my way
i give my best by trying
i have a lot to say

searching! i'm trying! the fear of failure
succeed before i die
i feel the pressure on me
i've lost my mind today

[chorus]:
slipping from reality
living for the "great escape"
slipping from reality
looks like it may be too late

lord, gonna call upon you
i need your help today
why do you fail to answer?
i'll find another way

searching! i'm trying! resignation
i hold my bottle high
i feel my self-worth dying
with eyes closed and a sigh

[chorus]

i, born into a circle
i will lose not my way
i give my best by trying
i have a lot to say

searching! i'm trying! the fear of failure
succeed before i die
i feel the pressure on me
i've lost my mind today

[chorus - 2x]
