Milton Mesirow (November 9, 1899 – August 5, 1972), better known as Mezz Mezzrow, was an American jazz clarinetist and saxophonist from Chicago, Illinois. He is remembered for organizing and financing recording sessions with Tommy Ladnier and Sidney Bechet. He recorded with Bechet as well and briefly acted as manager for Louis Armstrong. Mezzrow is equally known as a colorful character, as portrayed in his autobiography, Really the Blues (which takes its title from a Bechet composition), co-written with Bernard Wolfe and published in 1946. more »

Feel forced to a side in my body
It's crowded but I'm left alone
They've taken my life in possession
And compassion is not what I feel
My skin tightens more every day
Eruption will end inner threats
Engaged to beings I've never met
Don't know them by face or by name
Suicidal tempts! Overwhelming
But I'm on my way out
I have lived! In darkness
Under the pressure of fear
And I will try to escape
Escape From Within
Respected reliable and skillful
Were words that once described me
But what are these words worth to me now
When I can't fulfill the demands
They've taken my life to pieces
Overthrowing my self-confidence
Because I know I'm on my way to deep endings
Won't be missed nor will I miss them
Suicidal tempts! Overwhelming
But I'm on my way out
I have lived! In darkness
Under the pressure of fear
And I will try to escape
Escape From Within
I've come through without feeling guilty
Still they claim I'm badly bred
They take me into scenes of crimes I don't know
And expect my confession to start
Consider my silence, I'm already doomed
And now it's just a question of time
Before I'm turned into nothing and grime
Relief sufferings done with me
Suicidal tempts! Overwhelming
But I'm on my way out
I have lived! In darkness
Under the pressure of fear
And I will try to escape
Escape From Within
