Escape

Waking up from tragedy beyond the reach of men
Trust me, I'm the only one who'll help you back again
Or help yourself to misery, just open up your eyes
And take in all the tragic sights which you can't help but despise

A lucky break that you can't fake, so take the needle deep again
In loving care, you wouldn't dare, so set ablaze to now and then
Reality is killing me, so let me give you all my pain
So much at stake, you can't escape, when all I've done has been in vain

I'll make it clear without you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I've had my tragedy or two
I can't escape here without you

Defaced, erased, replaced, escape
Insane, the pain, the vein, escape
Inside, defied, I lied, no trace
Defaced, erased, replaced, escape

Ineffective everything, I've yet to find a cure
I'm positive for everything, but now I'm not so sure
Once upon a time I said my home was on the edge
But now the razor's sharpened, and it's splitting hairs instead

In it's own way, I've yet to pay, for all the sins that I've been through
So dive right in, make my head spin, there's not much else that I can do
Escape the fate or concentrate? It's not an easy choice, for sure
But in this state, I love and hate, i'm not sure what's real anymore!

I can't make it clear without you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I've had my tragedy or two
I can't escape here without you

Defaced, erased, replaced, escape
Insane, the pain, the vein, escape
Inside, defied, I lied, no trace
Defaced, erased, replaced, escape

Silently the winds will come
Angels with the swords all drawn
Slay the dragon, laid to rest
We all tried our very best
But the demons knew our game
Beat the salt and holy rain
Kept their tabs until we croaked
Each of us, some twisted joke
So like cattle, we can crawl
All for one, but none for all
Tunnel vision at our best
Images we all detest
But we'll fall again in time
Sure as any rap or rhyme
Watch the clock, we'll be there soon
Some time in the afternoon

I can't escape here without you

Defaced, erased, replaced, escape
Insane, the pain, the vein, escape
Inside, defied, I lied, no trace
Defaced, erased, replaced, escape
