Lyrics

Escape

[Verse 1]

Starin' at these four walls, no way out of this tragedy

What's broke can't be fixed it's just another casualty

Another "Oh well I'll do it myself" and in actuality

Said my loneliness once again has become a reality

Oh I, I just want for once in my life to find me some peace

So I can

[Chorus]

Escape from all the evil thoughts running through my head

Escape time is running out I'm approaching my last breath

Escape from my own mind cause I know what's in my heart

Feels like I'm suffocating know I need a change

Escape

[Verse 2]

I'm so tired of drowning in people's broken promises

It seems the one that you trust the most, devastate and wear you thin

The folks who claim they got yo' back are the same ones

Bouncin' when you outta cash

Said my loneliness once again has become a reality

It could take a whole lifetime in search for a place

But the sense of emptiness inside's drivin' me insane

[Chorus]

Escape from all the evil thoughts running through my head

Escape time is running out I'm approaching my last breath

Escape from my own mind cause I know what's in my heart

Feels like I'm suffocating know I need a change

Escape

[Bridge]

My heart is crumbling

I'm picking up the pieces (I'm torn)

So much I've sacrificed for love

But sometimes you wanna lose yourself inside

[Chorus]

Escape from all the evil thoughts running through my head

Escape time is running out I'm approaching my last breath

Escape from my own mind cause I know what's in my heart

Feels like I'm suffocating know I need a change

[Chorus]

Escape from all the evil thoughts running through my head

Escape time is running out I'm approaching my last breath

Escape from my own mind cause I know what's in my heart

Feels like I'm suffocating know I need a change

Escape
