Lyrics

Escape

I've got too much pressure building
Sometimes life's so unfulfilling
How much can we bend before we break?
Empty airless conversation
Overwrought with my frustrations
Pull the panic cord, need to escape

If I fall, will I feel
Something more, something real? (Something real)
Breaking down, breaking out
From the thoughts, from the doubt (Ooh)

Don't hold your breath, gotta let it go
Dive deeper in, into the unknown
If you don't try, then you'll never know
So take a breath, just take a breath
And let it all go, go, let it all go
Let it go, let it go

The world is lacking in emotion
So caught up in the commotion
Always reaching out for something more
Hunted by the fear of fading
Losing sight of what we're craving
Makes me wonder what we're waiting for

If I fall, will I feel
Something more, something real? (Something real)
Breaking down, breaking out
From the thoughts, from the doubt (Ooh)

Don't hold your breath, gotta let it go
Dive deeper in, into the unknown
If you don't try, then you'll never know
So take a breath, just take a breath
And let it all go, go, let it all go
Let it go, let it go

Leave your troubles in yesterday
Don't worry, you will be okay
Whenever you feel afraid
Just let it go

Don't hold your breath, gotta let it go
Dive deeper in, into the unknown
If you don't try, then you'll never know
So take a breath, just take a breath
And let it all go, go, let it all go
Let it go, let it go
