(…) the lyrics are about immortality, about striving and wanting to live forever, but maybe if you actually were able to realize that dream it’d be something that you really wouldn’t want. I mean, everybody wants to live forever, but it’s just an idea.

This Is Not an Exit Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know I'll never be free
Change doesn't come easy
And if I'll never be free
You'll live in hell with me
Me
Me
Me
[Verse 2]
Fear, a contradiction
Coexistence, darkness brought to light
My own skin don't seem to fit me right
Pain is my way of self expression
A fatal choice that always hangs above
Love what I kill, kill what I love
[Pre-Chorus]
I run, you run, you stop and then you take it
I run, you run, I stop and then you get it
I run, you run, you stop and then you take it
I run, you run, I stop and then you get it from me
[Bridge 1]
The one who's giant steps ahead of where you'd be
What you don't see
I know I'll never save myself
Dying from this immortality
[Chorus]
This is not an exit
I can never change it
This is not an exit
It's no way out
[Verse 3]
Out of touch with
Mortal thoughts, humanity's a dream
Things are not what they seem
Hungry for you, but not to hurt you
Hunger for the secret of your life
I'm a timeless clock and you kill time
[Pre-Chorus]
I run, you run, you stop and then you take it
I run, you run, I stop and then you get it
I run, you run, you stop and then you take it
I run, you run, I stop and then you get it from me
[Bridge 1]
The one who's giant steps ahead of where you'd be
What you don't see
I know I'll never save myself
Dying from this immortality
[Chorus]
This is not an exit
I can never change it
This is not an exit
It's no way out
It's no way out
There's no way out
It's no way out
[Interlude]
I know I'll never be free
Change doesn't come easy
And if I'll never be free
You'll live in hell with me
[Chorus]
This is not an exit
This is not an exit
This is not an exit
This is not an exit
I can never change it
You stop and then you take it
I stop and I can't fake it
'Cause this is not an exit
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 2]
Pain is my way of self expression
A fatal choice hangs above
Love what I kill, kill what I love
Love
Love
Love
[Chorus]
This is not an exit (not an exit)
This is not an exit (not an exit)
I can never change it
This is not an exit
Hand over fist
Come and taste my dark trick
Hand over fist
Kill you when I give it
This is not an exit (not an exit)
This is not an exit (not an exit)
I can never change it
This is not an exit
[Outro]
Be dangerous, and unpredictable and make a lot of noise
