[verse 1]

You holding me hostage here

You got me caught up here

And i'm locked up here

Like a prison cell

And baby i ain't so well

In this living hell

[hook]

And i know, i know

My heart is hand cuffed tortured by my soul

I need the keys to regain my control

Made my decision, i have set the stage today

[chorus:]

It's time to make my great escape

I'm breaking the chains

I've shattered the frames

I'm taking the risk

This is my great escape

I'm shaking the box

I'm breaking the locks

I'm making my way

This is my great escape

[verse 2]

I'm an alcatraz

Going nowhere fast and i'm desperate

And this straitjacket is stress

Got me under arrest

I need houdini to get out of this mess

Oh and i know (oh and i know)

My heart is hand cuffed tortured by my soul

I need the keys to regain my control

Made my decision, i have set the stage today

It's time to make my great escape

I'm breaking the chains

I've shattered the frames

I'm taking the risk

This is my great escape

I'm shaking the box

I'm breaking the locks

I'm making my way

This is my great escape

[bridge]

Feel like i'm buried in a casket

And it's about to crack and i'm doomed

And i need some magic to avoid the madden tragic

Oh you holding me hostage yeah (holding me hostage)

You've trapped me with all my fears

You holding me hostage yeah

But i decided today

And i've set the stage

It's time to make my great escape

I'm breaking the chains

I've shattered the frames

I'm taking the risk

This is my great escape

I'm shaking the box

I'm breaking the locks

I'm making my way

This is my great escape

My great escape

This is my great escape

This is my great escape

This is my great escape
