The Escape Songtext

von Brother Blake

I count my blessings but it's not enough
There's a world outside and I can't give it up
See, in my mind I'm the life in the party every time but this party's in a place you won't easily find
Is it failure by design or did I make a mistake
These walls surround me like a cage so in this cage I will wait
OK
Imagine waking up to falling skies
Hanging on by a string but you'll never see my dark side
I'll provide you with a lie
Tell you everything is fine
Cause you can't understand what I've kept inside
I can dream about a life I want to chase, but I'm stuck in this box, 'till I make my great escape
I shouldn't enbrace it, this man I'm becoming
Fuck I couldn't even tell you what has stopped me from running
Fucking give you five reasons bet you couldn't find one, that grants me any right to lock myself away from the sun
Friends dropping like flies while I rot in my prison
I could have kept it all together, could have paid them a visit
Call it selfish, or stupid
It doesn't really matter
Cause this glass that I'm standing on will one day shatter
But could I really fall deeper down the hole
I think I've maxed out, there's not much further I can go
Maybe on day, I'll get to break my fate
Yeah, that would be great
