Escape

Sometimes I get a feeling

That the walls are closing in

Look around me and there isn't a way out

The light above starts to dim and shrink

 

Escape doesn't seem to be in my future

Death seems to just be on my doorstep

Then it all disappears in a flash

Like nothing ever happened

 

Cross paths with someone you hate!

Kick their *** it was always in their fate

Give someone what they deserve

I'm no cop, but I'm here to protect and serve!

 

Let's go!

 

Escape doesn't seem to be in my future

Death seems to just be on my doorstep

Then it all disappears in a flash

Like nothing ever happened

 

Breakaway, from the status quo

Stray off, the beaten path below

Hear and see me now

Am I still that disrespectful clown?

 

Escape! From this god awful place

Escape! Live life at a new pace

Escape! Just ******* escape!
