be my escape

i've given up on giving up slowly

i'm blending in so you won't even know me

apart from this whole world that shares my fate

this one last bullet you mention

is my one last shot at redemption

'cause i know to live you must give your life away

and i've been housing all this doubt

and insecurity

i've been locked inside that house

all the while you hold the key

i've been dying to get out

and that might be the death of me

and even though there's no way of knowing where to go

i promise i'm going

because i gotta get outta here

i'm stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake

i gotta get outta here

and i'm begging you

i'm begging you

i'm begging you to be my escape. i've given up. i'm doing this alone now

'cause i've failed and i'm ready to be shown how

he's told me the way and i'm trying to get there

and this life sentence that i'm serving

i admit that i'm every bit deserving

but the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

'cause i've been housing all this doubt

and insecurity

i've been locked inside that house

all the while you hold the key

i've been dying to get out

and that might be the death of me

and even though there's no way of knowing where to go

i promise i'm going

because i gotta get outta here

'cause i'm afraid that this complacency is something i can't shake

i gotta get outta here

and i'm begging you

i'm begging you

i'm begging you to be my escape. i am a hostage to my own humanity

self-detained and forced to live in this mess i've made

and all i'm asking is for you to do what you can with me

but i can't ask you to give what you already gave

'cause i've been housing all this doubt

and insecurity

i've been locked inside that house

all the while you hold the key

i've been dying to get out

and that might be the death of me

and even thoughl there's no way of knowing where to go

i promise i'm going because

i gotta get outta here

i'm stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake

i gotta get outta here

and i'm begging you

i'm begging you

i'm begging you to be my escape. i fought you for so long

i should have let you win

oh how we regret those things we do

and all i was trying to do

was save my own skin

but so were you

so were you
