Escape

Ohh, Ohh, I need to escape, I need...

 

Listen, I ain't strong. I'm right where I belong.

Writing what I can with what I've got until I'm gone.

This is all I have, I'm setting off a bomb.

Turning all my words into a hymn and write a psalm.

 

Have you ever been so hurt you didn't know where to go?

Sit in the corner and watch your shadow.

Your mind is a mess and you need to let go

Of the pain inside and all your sorrow.

 

Let me see the hope, show me where to find it.

I'm so depressed, I need it now before I need my casket.

My arm's a mess, I'm filled with stress, I'm getting kind of desperate.

Look at me now, I'm sick of the sound; this heartbeat that I'm hearing.

 

Killing me slow and taking me down I don't know where to hide.

I tried it my way, put all my prayers aside

Killed me slow, took my life, it's eating me inside,

This is worth it? No its not! Better off with suicide!

 

Where do I go now? What do I write? What do you need to hear?

It's getting tough, I know it's hard, but I gotta persevere

My life's a mess, but I'm longing now Lord, to feel you near.

How far away? Are you even here, or up in the atmosphere?

 

I'm so close now to my breaking point, start the countdown.

Old self what I'm wearing now, take off that dirty gown.

I've been brought home. I belong, made a way somehow.

I'm told I'm loved, Been made a king, and now I wear my crown!

 

Ohh, Ohh, I need to escape, I need an escape

Ohh, Ohh, I need to escape, I need an escape

 

Listen to this new beat now

I come to write when I'm down

And sometimes, often I break down

Save me now before I drown

 

But I'll rise up and fight

With the words that you give.

Just get through the night

child, and live

 

Hearing the words that come out of my mouth

Listen to what I say

Get down on a knee and listen to me

on how you need to pray

 

Say Father, Lord,

I need you at my side.

Nothing else can help me now

swallow up my pride

 

Take away this pain and mend

me with Holy tape

I knew I could bend but

never thought I'd break

 

Here I am sitting

Never thought I'd be spitting

Words that are ripping through your

heart and then flipping

 

you upside down Balling your eyes out

Lying facedown Knees on the ground

Taking breath by breath almost without a sound

Begging God almighty just to be found

 

Didn't ever think you'd break

Closing up your main gate

But it became too much and

You just need an escape!

 

Ohh, Ohh, I need to escape, I need an escape

Ohh, Ohh, I need to escape, I need....
