The Great Escape

I can understand how all the edges are rough
And they cut you like the tiniest slithers of glass
And you feel too much
And you don't know how long you're gonna last
But everyone you know is trying a smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
But everyone you know is trying a 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 checking 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 trying a smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
Everyone you know is trying a smooth it over
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through
I won't let you make the great escape
I'm never gonna watch you checking 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, terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me
And i don't need pill to make me numb
And i wrote the book already
But that chapter of my life will soon be done
I'm the king of the great escape
You're not gonna watch me checking 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
