Lyrics
The Escape Artist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Got a feeling that you can't do anything you believe
It's not a secret that you take back anything underneath
can't be blamed won't be fooled
pocket full of nothing if you don't keep cool
out of place, don't fit in
never finish something if you can't begin
then you tell me you read like the perfect ending
gone without a trace
take a minute to mention everything that you question
you lost the human race
another chip on your shoulder got a lot to get over
you swear you wanted this
it's underwhelming how the day gets started
how you begin
you wouldn't notice if the street just sounded like violins
then you tell me you read like the perfect ending
gone without a trace
take a minute to mention everything that you question
you lost the human race
another chip on your shoulder got a lot to get over
you swear you wanted this
so take a step start again
it's never quite an issue to remember when
stomp your feet lose the knack
on the way you'll figure out the best way back
Even when you walk away it feels like running
if you turn your head a certain way you might see something good
gone without a trace
take a minute to mention everything that you question
you lost the human race
another chip on your shoulder got a lot to get over
you swear you wanted this
