Lyrics

The Great Escape

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.

I can understand how all the edges are rough

And they cut you like the tiniest slivers of glass

And you feel too much

And you don't know how long you're gonna last

But everyone you know

Is tryin' smooth it over

Find a way to make the hurt go away

But everyone you know

Is tryin' smooth it over

Like you're trying to scream underwater

But I won't let you make the great escape

I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place

I'm not gonna lose you

'Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep you alive someday

Gonna keep you alive someday

I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face

And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing

And you're retreated to your silent corner

Like you decided the fight was over for ya

Everyone you know

Is tryin' smooth it over

Find a way to make the hurt go away

Everyone you know

Is tryin' smooth it over

Everyone needs a floor they can fall through

But I won't let you make the great escape

I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place

I'm not gonna lose you

'Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep you alive someday

They're gonna keep you alive someday

Oh, I'm terrified of the dark

But not if you go with me

And I won't need pill

To make me numb

And I wrote the book on runnin'

But that chapter of my life will soon be done, oh

I'm the king of the great escape

You're not gonna watch me checkin' out of this place

You're not gonna lose me

'Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep us alive someday

Yeah the passion and the pain

Are gonna keep us alive someday

Someday, yeah
